Jazzy Christmas - Creole Christmas
by Angelo Leonardi
I canti natalizi si sono trasformati nel tempo da inni prettamente religiosi, derivati da laudi o ninne-nanne in onore a Gesù bambino, a pop song strutturate sul modello Tin Pan Alley, che celebrano il Natale in un'ottica secolarizzata, mantenendo i valori di amore e fratellanza. La relazione tra jazz e canti di ...
The Spike Orchestra: Cerberus (Book of Angels - Volume 26)
by Phil Barnes
Taking inspiration from the divine is a tough sell. Get it wrong and it can appear sacrilegious or insulting to the faithful; too devout and our largely secular society turns away. In the past the poet William Blake was famously beaten by his own mother when he claimed to have had angelic visions at the age ...
Bill Frisell Trio at Peace Center
by Mark Sullivan
Bill Frisell Trio Peace Center Greenville, SC November 22, 2015 The promotional description for this Bill Frisell Trio show promised “music from Frisell's entire, and quite versatile, repertoire."

Marc Ribot & The Young Philadelphians al Teatro Manzoni di Milano
by Paolo Peviani
Aperitivo in Concerto Teatro Manzoni Milano 22.11.2015 Esploratore come pochi altri, Marc Ribot ha attraversato i territori musicali più disparati.

Klezmerson al Teatro Manzoni di Milano
by Paolo Peviani
Aperitivo in Concerto Teatro Manzoni Milano 15.11.2015 C'è un sottile filo rosso che collega la rassegna milanese Aperitivo in Concerto con la musica di John Zorn. Filo rosso che in rare e fortunate occasioni si esplicita con la diretta presenza del sassofonista newyorkese. Più frequentemente, con la ...
Aram Bajakian: Music Inspired By the Color Of Pomegranates
by Dan McClenaghan
Guitarist Aram Bajakian found a fitting concept to tie together his creative ideas and the extended techniques he's been exploring: An obscure Russian movie about the 18th century Armenian poet, Sayat Nova. The resulting album, Music Inspired by The Color of Pomegranates, is pensive, layered, brilliantly virtuosic music, sometimes minimalist, sometimes orchestral, all of it created ...
John Dikeman/William Parker/Hamid Drake: Live at La Resistenza
by Mark Corroto
The subtitle to Charles Mingus' composition “Gunslinging Bird" is “If Charlie Parker was a gunslinger, there'd be a whole lot of dead copycats," refers to the great alto saxophonist's ability to dominate a bandstand and quiet any and all comers. Parker, who died in 1955, might not have known about automatic weapons, nor the free jazz ...
