Aaron Parks: Finding the Way to Little Big
by Jiaowei Hu
"Always beginning. Often perplexed. Drawn to beauty and to the absurd. I play piano, write songs, and take pictures of doors with my phone. A bit odd."

Blue Note Records: Beyond The Notes
by Doug Collette
Blue Note Records: Beyond the Notes Eagle Vision2019 Seventy-one minutes hardly seems long enough to tell the story of a record label so profoundly influential as Blue Note.

Jason Palmer: Rhyme And Reason
by Angelo Leonardi
Trombettista rigoroso e dalla tecnica scintillante, tra i migliori della sua generazione, Jason Palmer non gode della popolarità che merita.
