John Sharpe's Best Releases Of 2019
by John Sharpe
There's sometimes a backlash against picking the year's best albums. Understandably so when it entails pitting one honest artistic endeavour against another. Best to view the selections as a chance to pick up on something that you might otherwise have missed. As a listener I always look forward to the annual year end lists for precisely ...
Walthamstow Jazz Festival 2019
by Luke Seabright
Walthamstow Jazz Festival London February 16, 2019 If you're not from London the name Walthamstow most likely means nothing to you, unless perhaps you admire the work of designer and craftsman William Morris.

Tibor Prettschnöder: The Largo And The Lame
by Mark Corroto

La produzione del 2018 è stata copiosa e alcuni grandi protagonisti, come Henry Threadgill e Steve Coleman, hanno pubblicato documenti significativi della propria attività.

John Butcher
by John Eyles
In the Building a Jazz Library article on Evan Parker, it says that seasoned Parker followers would describe him as the finest improvising saxophonist of his generation. Curiously, many of those same people would use exactly that phrase about John Butcher. The simple explanation for this apparent contradiction is that we are talking about two generations; ...
Duck Baker, un chitarrista tra passato e presente
by Mario Calvitti
Duck Baker è un chitarrista abbastanza difficile da inquadrare; mentre la tecnica che usa è rigorosamente fingerstyle, la musica che compone e interpreta spazia lungo tutta la storia del jazz, dai vecchi standard al modale, dal blues al bebop, dallo swing al free. I suoi interessi si estendono inoltre a tutta la American Music, che interpreta ...
