Carlos Nathaniel Ward: libertà, spiritualità e rigore
by Gaetano Fiore
“Arte e Jazz? Non facile e acritica gestualità ma concentrato di analitica ponderatezza".

by Artur Moral
OK, maybe the electric guitar was its first and most celebrated love affair, but the organ's alliances with the saxophone's family members are undoubtedly among the richest musical combinations, both in terms of sound and the intense interrelationships that typically develop in such encounters. Whether it be a tenor with a Hammond, a soprano with an ...
