Read "Jazz Education: The Next Generation, Part 2" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

Il meglio del 2016 Secondo Paolo Peviani

Read "Il meglio del 2016 Secondo Paolo Peviani" reviewed by Paolo Peviani


Dal punto di vista discografico, quella del 2016 è stata un'annata molto ricca. Nessun picco straordinario ma tanti buoni, ottimi dischi, da ascoltare e riascoltare con attenzione. Dal mio piccolo e per forza di cose parziale osservatorio, ho avuto l'impressione che i grandi nomi del jazz -al netto di qualche eccezione -non abbiano prodotto grandi cose. ...

Il 2016 in rassegna

Read "Il 2016 in rassegna" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Se nel 2016 il Guardian si è chiesto se il jazz stava entrando in una nuova età aurea ci sarà una ragione. In una confluenza di artisti affermati e nuove promesse, la vitalità dimostrata dalla musica che amiamo è rassicurante, e il mercato discografico lo conferma.

Il meglio del 2016 secondo Vincenzo Roggero

Read "Il meglio del 2016 secondo Vincenzo Roggero" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Questi i migliori dischi dell'anno? Risposta complicata perché nonostante la massa imponente di musica, fruibile in tutte le forme e in tutti modi possibili, si ha la sensazione che manchi qualcosa (o molto), che siano precluse realtà musicali periferiche rispetto ai normali canali di distribuzione ma importanti dal punto di vista della testimonianza e della valenza ...
