August 26, 2020

Alone among the other great jazz labels of the 1960s and 1970s—Blue Note, Prestige, Riverside, Impulse!, Strata-East and Atlantic—Joe Fields' Muse is rarely anthologised, written about or otherwise celebrated.

by AAJ Italy Staff
June 26, 2013

In Good Medicine, l'incontro fra Joseph Bowie e Adam Rudolph sembra reggersi sulla dicotomia fra il trombone del primo dalle riverberanti estensioni elettroniche, e quindi avveniristiche, e le percussioni rituali, africane, materiche del secondo.
