Tyshawn Sorey: Mesmerism
by Angelo Leonardi
«Ho sempre accolto con favore l'opportunità di suonare questa musica—dice Tyshawn Sorey-.

Horace Silver: 'Blowin' the Blues Away'
I'm hard-pressed to think of a post-war jazz pianist-composer who was as electrifying and addictive as Horace Silver. Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans are certainly in the pantheon of exceptional player-songwriters. But Silver was really in a class by himself. In addition to being a gorgeous balladeer and a lyrical hard-bop pioneer, he was a penetrating ...
