April 14, 2023

Quasi ottanta minuti nei quali un sestetto di musicisti da brivido rende omaggio a due geni della musica del novecento. La solita operazione celebrativa così frequente in ambito jazzistico? Niente affatto se a concepire l'idea, realizzarla e curarne gli arrangiamenti è quel talentaccio misconosciuto che risponde al nome di Heiner Stadler. Su queste pagine avevamo già ...

È quanto accade con questo Jazz Alchemy (che già il titolo...), lavoro assolutamente particolare - al di là degli accadimenti di cui sopra ...

Heiner Stadler: Tribute to Bird & Monk

Tribute to Bird & Monk is a scintillating blast recorded in 1978, when the battle lines between innovation and the tradition were clearly drawn.
