Bolt: Shuffle
by Alberto Bazzurro
Improvvisazione totale per quartetto: ecco quanto ci offre questo album, seguendo una pratica assai diffusa, in cui peraltro--come per l'appunto nel caso specifico--l'ampia conoscenza reciproca dei performer favorisce la messa a punto di forme riconoscibili e, per quanto possibile, risolte. Aiuta anche il fatto che, bene o male, la configurazione del gruppo segue ...
