John O'Gallagher: Dirty Hands

Read "Dirty Hands" reviewed by David Adler

Dirty Hands, recorded in Portugal during a 2007 European tour, is a continuation of that history, although this time we hear the leader and Kamaguchi ...

John O'Gallagher's Axiom: Line of Sight

Read "Line of Sight" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Spesso i parametri ritmici di una composizione influenzano direttamente l’andamento melodico e la natura delle improvvisazioni. Sopra un beat spezzato, una figurazione divisa in due o tre parti, il tema si inarca, si distende, acquista un andamento obliquo.
