Picchio dal Pozzo, prove di ritorno
by AAJ Italy Staff
Tra le formazioni più innovative dell'avant rock tricolore si collocano sicuramente i genovesi Picchio dal Pozzo. La loro musica, estranea del tutto a barocchismi o a ridicole rappresentazioni neo-romantiche, s'inserisce nella corrente più colta e, allo stesso tempo disincantata, del progressive europeo. Zappiani fino al midollo, soprattutto sul piano ideolologico dell'approccio “totale" alla materia sonora, hanno ...
An Interview with Dewey Syntax: Progressive Rock meets Jazz Fusion
The death of progressive rock has been greatly exaggerated. While it's true that prog has long been extinct from the public eye for decades now, the genre remains a living and breathing entity, kept alive by its pioneers and followers in an underground network of the faithful. Among them is Denver, Colorado-based guitarist Eric Dewey, who ...
Al Di Meola: Head and Heart
By Dennis Cook It's a small wonder that Al Di Meola isn't a major player in the jam scene. His pioneering work while just 20-years-old in Return To Forever alone should bestow the same elder statesman status as John Scofield and other electric jazz and fusion groundbreakers enjoy. Perhaps it's because Di Meola has cut his ...

Billy Childs: The Perfect Picture
by Esther Berlanga-Ryan
There is a somewhat-still-virgin musical territory that rests its innocent heart where classical music ends and jazz commences. Many have beautifully tiptoed on its smooth surface before, mixing, experimenting, creating and even challenging its balance with both improvised and organized notes. Music is in constant evolution, and jazz has always, in one way or another, embraced ...

Microscopic Septet: un incontro casuale col futuro
by AAJ Italy Staff
Intervista di Gordon Marshall Il Microscopic Septet è sinonimo di swing: ma non si pensi a qualcosa di stantio e relegato nelle pagine del tempo. Il loro approccio alla musica degli anni Trenta e Quaranta è troppo colto per essere etichettato come retrò, e troppo sentito per essere sdoganato come un polveroso insieme di pezzi da ...
