Universal Indians with Joe McPhee: Skullduggery

Read "Skullduggery" reviewed by John Sharpe

Save the Date - Maggio 2015

Read "Save the Date - Maggio 2015" reviewed by Luca Canini

by Luca Canini

Maggio, tempo di festival. Concerti e rassegne da un angolo all'altro dello Stivale. Piazze piene, cortili aperti, giardini sonanti: non c'è che da scegliere. In base ai gusti, alle distanze e agli impegni. Dal canto nostro, come ogni mese, ci permettiamo di caldeggiare le proposte più allettanti e fuori dagli schemi, lasciando da parte i cartelloni ...

Three contrasting Bertrand Denzler releases

Read "Three contrasting Bertrand Denzler releases" reviewed by John Eyles

by John Eyles

It seems that Swiss-born tenor saxophonist Bertrand Denzler is already involved in so many contrasting groupings that he would have no need to be joining or creating yet more. Active groupings of which he is a member include Hubbub, Mark Wastell's The Seen, Trio Sowari, Zoor, plus a trio with Eddie Prevost and John Edwards. Some ...

Save the Date - Dicembre 2014

Read "Save the Date - Dicembre 2014" reviewed by Luca Canini

by Luca Canini

Dicembre. Ultimi scampoli di musica prima che cali il sipario sul 2014. E ultime notizie dal pianeta jazz. La più importante, come spesso è capitato nelle ultime settimane, arriva dalla Capitale (che in questi giorni ha però ben altro a cui pensare...). Dopo le polemiche estive sulla Festa dell'Unità e gli appelli arrivati da più parti, ...
