Bill Brovold, Jamie Saft: Serenity Knolls
by Andrea Murgia
Noto ai più come fenomenale organista e pianista della scena newyorchese più sperimentale nei progetti di John Zorn e Joe Morris, Jamie Saft è in realtà anche un chitarrista (e slidista) che non ti aspetti.

Eliot Cardinaux
by Paolo Peviani
Il tratto principale della mia musica Mi piace danzare sul bordo. Sento che se nella mia musica manca questo, faccio fatica a guardare i due lati negli occhi, e metterli in discussione equamente. La qualità che desidero nei musicisti che suonano con me Mi piacciono i musicisti che non smettono mai ...
Matthew Shipp Trio: Piano Song
by Mark Corroto
The finest compliment you can pay an artist is that his music is instantly recognized in a blindfold test. Sure, back in the day most experienced listeners could identify a Bud Powell, Bill Evans, or Oscar Peterson recording. It's just, these days, there are so many Powell, Evans, and Peterson soundalikes, schooled in the art of ...
Ivo Perelman: The Art of the Improv Trio
by Giuseppe Segala
Sei volumi dedicati all'arte dell'improvvisazione in trio rappresentano una bella impresa. Per il musicista e per chi ascolta. Anche per chi, come il sassofonista di origini brasiliane Ivo Perelman, non si fa certo intimorire dalle strade impervie.

With (Five) Stories Untold he utilizes a revolving cast of players in tempering abstraction with an abundance of ...
