Dave Liebman: Placing Free Jazz and the Avant Garde in Musical and Historical Perspective

Saxophone Colossi: An Alternative Top Ten Banging Albums
by Chris May
Miles Davis once said you could tell the history of jazz in four words: Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker. You might want to add John Coltrane, you might even want to add Davis.

Stefano Tamborrino: Seacup
by Giuseppe Segala
Seacup nasce dalla profonda e sincera esigenza, da parte del batterista fiorentino Stefano Tamborrino, di allargare la propria tavolozza, i propri orizzonti espressivi e artistici, mettendo in scena un organico con quattro archi. Il contrabbasso, invece del secondo violino di un quartetto d'archi classico, compie la somma. Dal lavoro scaturisce uno Stefano Tamborrino inedito e lontano ...
