Jon Balke: Book of Velocities

Read "Book of Velocities" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Esponente di primo piano della Free Improvised Music europea, il pianista Jon Balke lascia per il momento la guida della Magnetic North Orchestra e dell'ensemble Batagraf, per dedicarsi pienamente al suo strumento.
