by Claudio Bonomi
Delta Saxophone Quartet feat. Gwilym Simcock Aperitivo in Concerto Teatro Manzoni Milano -30.11.2014 Ma cosa c'entrano i King Crimson con il jazz? Siamo sinceri, poco o nulla.

Keith Tippett - Giovanni Maier: Two for Joyce
by Neri Pollastri
Registrato dal vivo al Teatro Miela di Trieste nel maggio del 2012, questo lavoro è, non a caso, dedicato a James Joyce. Non solo, infatti, questi visse a Trieste, che gli ha dedicato un monumento, ma anche la musica che Keith Tippett e Giovanni Maier vi esprimono ha qualcosa della poetica dello scrittore irlandese: aperta e ...
Gary Windo: Deep Water
by Glenn Astarita
