Benjamin Boone & Philip Levine: The Poetry of Jazz Volume Two
by Victor L. Schermer
Poetry and music are overlapping forms of expression. Poetry emphasizes the musicality of words. Music has many features of poetry including sound, syntax, and meaning. Still, only a few poets have spoken their poems in a musical context. It is hard to do effectively because speech and music have different functions: speech is about things, intentions, ...
Sade Mangiaracina: Le mie donne
by Angelo Leonardi

Sono poi venuti altri album: (Pure Songs, condiviso con la cantante Laura ...

Brazilian Bassist Marcos Milagres Releases His First Album As A Leader
The album is entitled Feira (Portuguese for Street Market).

His electric bass performance is pushed to ...
John Escreet: Learn To Live
by Mike Jurkovic
From the light, airy smoothness of “Opening," through the nomadic, polyrhythmic, suite “Broken Justice (Kalief)" (which brings to contemporary life Weather Report's axiom: “Everyone solos but no-one solos") to the poppy, practically Stevie Wonder-ish “Lady T's Vibe," keyboardist/composer John Escreet's fusion proves to be a many-headed, sinewy hybrid. All are brought to the forefront on Learn ...
10³²K: The Law of Vibration

Benjamin Boone: The Poetry of Jazz
by Duncan Heining
Lenny Bruce might have skewered it with his skit, “Psychopathia Sexualis." Mike Myers' mildly misogynist poet might have parodied it in the movie I Married an Axe Murderer (1993). It has been dismissed as a late-fifties fad associated with the Beats. And, yet, the desire of poets and jazz musicians to combine their art forms has ...
