Space: Embrace the Space
by John Sharpe
The second album from the Swedish collective Space, comprising pianist Lisa Ullén, bassist Elsa Bergman and drummer Anna Lund, finds further intrigue and sustenance in the soil that nurtured its eponymous 2022 debut.

Queste dichiarazioni sembrano riflettere il disagio del redattore, costretto a riassumere un vasto ecosistema artistico selezionando ...
Ludovico Granvassu's Garden of Jazzy Delights 2024
