by Libero Farnè
Talos Festival Bande 2014 Ruvo di Puglia 4-14.09.2014 Se ogni festival che si rispetti ha una sua fisionomia più o meno chiaramente orientata, l'identità del Talos di Ruvo di Puglia corrisponde pienamente a quella del suo direttore artistico Pino Minafra: ne riflette infatti la personalità passionale, le convinzioni, l'impegno socio-politico a favore ...

Wadada Leo Smith: I'm A Dreamer
by John Sharpe
As dreamers go trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith lies at the more serious end of the spectrum. Not for him dreams that fade with the daylight, as evidenced by the realization of his epic Civil Rights inspired Ten Freedom Summers (Cuneiform, 2012). Smith actually composed the first piece of what developed into a 21 piece magnum opus ...

Like ...
Blue Notes: Before the Wind Changes
by AAJ Italy Staff
Non vi è dubbio che per catturare con qualche credibilità la potenza musicale dei Blue Notes il concerto dal vivo fosse l'unico momento valido. Non che gli album in studio manchino di sostanza, o di creatività; però la fragranza delle danze, unita alla spavalderia delle improvvisazioni al calor bianco, si libera davvero in palcoscenico.

So, when Chris McGregor was prevented from joining the first night of a Dutch tour by The Blue Notes in 1979, Louis Moholo-Moholo, Dudu Pukwana and Johnny Dyani embraced the ...
