Il Meglio del 2018 Secondo Nicola Negri
by Nicola Negri
Per chi non se ne fosse accorto, stiamo vivendo un momento musicale straordinario, fatto di ricerca senza confini, ibridazioni linguistiche e condivisione di esperienze spesso agli antipodi--insomma diametralmente opposto al periodo storico, in cui l'ignoranza miope delle nuove destre vorrebbe tenerci divisi, ancorati ad un'idea identitaria ormai superata dalla storia.

Ciò conferisce alla formazione un suono peculiare, che lo inserisce ...
Eric Dolphy: Musical Prophet: The Expanded 1963 New York Sessions
by Troy Dostert
Although his iconic Out to Lunch! (Blue Note, 1964) is one of a handful of undisputed avant-garde jazz masterpieces, Eric Dolphy's stature has never quite risen fully to the level of the jazz titans.
