Tom Cox: The Journey Home

Read "The Journey Home" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Read "Steve Smith: Drummer For All Seasons" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke

Keith Jarrett: Creation

Read "Creation" reviewed by Mario Calvitti

by Mario Calvitti

Sono passati 40 anni da quel concerto a Colonia che ha rivelato al mondo, grazie a un successo di vendite travolgente e decisamente inusuale per un disco di jazz, la pratica del concerto solistico completamente improvvisato che il pianista Keith Jarrett portava avanti già da un paio di anni, e che avrebbe continuato quasi ininterrottamente (tranne ...
