Sylvie Courvoisier Trio: Double Windsor
by Vincenzo Roggero
I dieci minuti dell'iniziale title-track valgono da soli il prezzo del biglietto.

C'è un ostinato sui ...

It's a tool he wields with ease in his music, be it in his Gravitas Quartet of piano/trumpet/cello/bassoon, his Sweeter Than The Day acoustic quartet or the electric Zony Mash. He even brought lovely to John Zorn's shocking Naked City bands of the 1990s. Horvitz has the ability to distill music, ...

Whether listening or writing, he ...
