by Karl Ackermann
As he approached the age of ninety, Cecil Taylor could be excused for some of his indulgences. Still highly opinionated on a range of subjects; still chain smoking, still harboring old resentments, and so on.

Miles Davis: Miles Davis & John Coltrane - The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6

Noah Preminger: Genuinity
by Mark Corroto
Quite often when an über-talented musician records a disc under his own name, he uses sidemen of lesser talent so as not to detract from his moment in the limelight, or because his ego won't allow him to play nice.

Alberto Pinton: la nostra parte del puzzle
by Marco Colonna
Scrivere di Alberto Pinton è una delle occasioni ghiotte che speravo di avere collaborando occasionalmente con la divulgazione “giornalistica" del jazz. Sapendo bene di non essere un tecnico della scrittura, ma un semplice veneratore del linguaggio, mi avvicino all'impresa con le cuffie, chiudendo il mondo fuori per la durata di un disco. Questa ...
James Brandon Lewis: Radiant Imprints
by Vincenzo Roggero
Da quando è ritornato sulla scena musicale nel 2014 con Divine Travels -dopo l'esordio piuttosto convenzionale di Moments nel 2010 -facendo capire di non essere il solito fenomeno del sax tenore destinato a ballare il tempo di un estate, James Brandon Lewis non ha più sbagliato un colpo, sia sul versante discografico che nelle numerose esibizioni ...
