La cantante è Norma Winstone, ottant'anni passati e portati benissimo, il pianista Kit Downes, trentotto anni; la prima ha ...

Bill Frisell, Kit Downes, Andrew Cyrille: Breaking the Shell

Read "Breaking the Shell" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Ogni tanto Bill Frisell si concede qualche scappatella fuori dai patrii confini (che già per loro conto variano, vedi il recente Orchestras). In questo nuovo, singolare lavoro, uscito in realtà a oltre due anni dalla sua incisione (maggio 2022), il grande chitarrista recupera scorie (nell'accezione più alta del termine) di quel sano sperimentalismo che, all'interno della ...

A grand host of noir sci-fi themes and motifs ...

Norma Winstone, Kit Downes: Outpost Of Dreams

Read "Outpost Of Dreams" reviewed by Chris May
