Eddie Henderson At Magy's Farm
by Ian Patterson
Eddie Henderson Magy's Farm Dromara, N. Ireland December 2, 2023 Ireland is not short of venerable music venues, any one of which should have been proud to host trumpeter Eddie Henderson.

Dorothy Ashby: With Strings Attached, 1957-1965
by Angelo Leonardi
Questo lussuoso cofanetto di sei LP in edizione limitata dedicato all'arpista Dorothy Ashby è un importante contributo che colma l'attuale vuoto di registrazioni e rende giustizia a un'artista tanto importante quanto dimenticata. Non troverete il suo nome sulle massime storie ed enciclopedie del jazz, e la sua morte prematura dell'aprile 1986 (aveva 55 anni) fu data ...
