Alla ricerca di John Cage

Read "Alla ricerca di John Cage" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Sono un collezionista. O forse lo fui. Una definizione del genere è spesso associata a personaggi avidi fieri dei loro archivi--tipicamente costruiti dopo un certo numero di anni attraverso scambi, affari, baratti con altri avari collezionisti--che non possono essere consultati che da un piccolo numero di conoscenti fidati. Devo confessare che questo fu anche il mio ...

Tyshawn Sorey: Composite Reality

Read "Tyshawn Sorey: Composite Reality" reviewed by Daniel Lehner

The Beginnings of Free Form

Read "The Beginnings of Free Form" reviewed by Sammy Stein


"Free form" is a term used to encompass a whole genre--or genres--outside mainstream jazz. Jazz has its roots in spiritual music, Dixieland, New Orleans, blues and ragtime, and after the 1940s these became fused into a catch-all assignation of genre.
