by Angelo Leonardi
Diversamente da tanto neo-soul di plastica, che ti scivola addosso senza lasciare traccia, il nuovo disco di Krystle Warren prende alla gola. Confesso che prima di ascoltare questo disco non conoscevo la sua musica e l'effetto è stato stordente ma le ragioni sono chiare: anche se canta professionalmente da un decennio la cantante non fa parte ...

Of Stories, Songs, and Self: Fred Hersch's Good Things Happen Slowly & Open Book
by Dan Bilawsky
Most everything in Fred Hersch's oeuvre has always miraculously existed as slow read and page-turner all at once.

L'ultimo hipster. La vita e la musica di Mark Murphy
by Angelo Leonardi
Non trovate accenni a Mark Murphy nelle più recenti storie del jazz, neanche il nome. Una lacuna che appare inspiegabile (a differenza di Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormè e Tony Bennett) che si giustifica solo col ritardo a collocare il cantante di Syracuse in una prospettiva storica. Eppure già prima della sua scomparsa -il ...
