Walking Distance feat. Jason Moran: Freebird
by Vincenzo Roggero
Un tuffo nel passato e uno al cuore. Sono le prime battute di “William" e lo spirito di Charlie Parker prende forme e colori così vividi da lasciar stordito l'ascoltatore. E' il brano iniziale di Freebird e se per una volta i nomi rimandano ad un qualche significato mai titolo di album fu più azzeccato.

With a colorful CV of playing alongside such boundary-busting, risk-taking players as David ...
