Manolo Cabras

Read "Manolo Cabras" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


1. Roberto Dani, Drama (stella nera, 2009) Sono pochi gli artisti che riescono a esprimersi in maniera così naturale in solo. Un disco tridimensionale!!!!! 2. Edward Vesala, Lumi (ECM, 1987) Per gli amanti dell'ECM anni '80. Un progetto decisamente originale con un'orchestrazione di ampio spettro e atipica. Divertente.

Read "Quinsin Nachoff's Ethereal Trio" reviewed by Roger Farbey
