Fabio Delvò: Rastplatz
by Dave Wayne
I became aware of Fabio Delvo's music via his recordings with guitarist Jeff Platz. Platz has an ear for first-rate musicianship, and his recordings with lesser-known European musicians such as Delvo, Jan Klare, and Meinrad Kneer have been nothing short of revelatory.

Tord Gustavsen: Extended Circle
by Libero Farnè
In una certa tradizione ECM questo disco ci propone una delle più rappresentative espressioni del jazz scandinavo, un'immagine nordica impressionistica, nitidamente caratterizzata, per altro contraddetta da tante altre esperienze forti," nate a quelle latitudini nell'ultimo ventennio. Le composizioni sono prevalentemente del leader: Staying There" può ricordare le collaborazioni fra Keith Jarrett e Jan Garbarek degli anni ...

Fortunately, there's enough space left over for the trio ...
