by AAJ Italy Staff
February 3, 2011

Il grande Massimo Urbani, con la sua arte e con la sua schiettezza umana, gli ha insegnato il jazz più, e meglio, di tanti manuali e di ore di lezione.

Music evolves in a fluid nature, but key individuals and turning points serve as milestones in the musical history of any one region.

It's what he learned listening to the masters growing up, and playing with many of them over the years. Now, of course, he is one of today's elite jazz musicians, one ...

Led Bib: It's Not Lady Gaga

by Bruce Lindsay
February 1, 2011

Led Bib: a short, sharp shock of a name for one of the hardest-hitting bands on the UK jazz scene. But the name doesn't tell the whole story, for this is also a band that's capable of inventive and intensely emotive music as well as the riff-laden numbers that have helped it to earn the label ...

Forse dimenticano che la fisarmonica si studia anche nei conservatori italiani e che all'esame di diploma si porta l'Arte della fuga di Bach. ...
