Geof Bradfield: Melba!
by Hrayr Attarian
Chicago based saxophonist Geof Bradfield's Melba! is a much needed tribute to the criminally underexposed trombonist and arranger Melba Liston.

Jeff Parker: Bright Light in Winter
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il chitarrista Jeff Parker cerca di prenderci in contropiede con il tempo latino un po' buttato là nell'iniziale “Mainz," ma non dobbiamo lasciarci influenzare dal clima rilassato da pomeriggio assolato, perchè questa musica ha un anima e, ascolto dopo ascolto, la sua consistenza viene fuori e ci trascina nel suo mondo da garage band sonnolente e ...
Scott Amendola Trio: Lift
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo Lift del trio di Scott Amendola arriva a parecchi anni di distanza dall'ottimo Believe del 2005 che vedeva il batterista californiano impegnato alla testa di un quintetto con i chitarristi Nels Cline e Jeff Parker affiancati dalla violinista Jenny Scheinman.
