Enzo Favata: The Crossing
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 ...

August 2022: Higher Ground
by C. Michael Bailey
DO'A Higher Grounds Outside In Music 2022 Polymath composer, guitarist and pianist, DO'A, possesses an embarrassment of talent equal only to the smoky and concealed mystery surrounding her and her provocative moniker.

Carole Nelson: Zen And The Art Of Music Making
by Ian Patterson
To what extent music is a product of nature versus nurture is impossible to qualify, but it is reasonable to assume that a musician's immediate environment plays into the music somehow. Difficult, certainly, to imagine bebop birthing anywhere other than in the hurly burly of 1940s New York, for example. For London-born, Ireland-based pianist Carole Nelson, ...
Szun Waves: Earth Patterns
by Gareth Thompson
The second Szun Waves album, New Hymn To Freedom (The Leaf Label, 2018), was a critical smash that united fans of Radiohead and Pharoah Sanders alike.
