Enzo Favata: The Crossing

Read "The Crossing" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Enzo Favata prosegue nel percorso che da qualche anno lo ha portato a sperimentare sonorità assai diverse da quelle che lo avevano reso noto, legate alla rilettura della tradizione o a colori mediterranei e latini. Questo suo quartetto lo vede affiancato dal vibrafono di un fine e trasversale ricercatore di suoni qual è Pasquale Mirra, dal ...

Archie Shepp: Fire Music To Mama Too Tight Revisited

Read "Fire Music To Mama Too Tight Revisited" reviewed by Chris May

Nucleus: Nucleus Live at the BBC

Read "Nucleus Live at the BBC" reviewed by Maurizio Comandini


Dio salvi la regina. E la BBC. L'emittente di stato britannica ha capito fin da subito che da quelle belle energie musicali, che spuntavano come l'erba di Hyde Park sotto al tiepido sole di quelle latitudini, passavano le scelte esistenziali e culturali delle nuove generazioni e sin dagli anni sessanta ha dato ampio spazio alla musica, ...
