Il meglio del 2016 secondo Alberto Bazzurro

Read "Il meglio del 2016 secondo Alberto Bazzurro" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Dischi, e soprattutto concerti, sono elementi variabili, inevitabilmente legati al singolo: ascoltati da alcuni, scappati via ad altri. Come e più di tutte le liste di questo tipo, eccone dunque qui di seguito una delle tante possibili. Al di là di ciò, il 2016 è stato un anno veramente impietoso nei confronti di chi fa musica, ...

Nenad Georgievski's Best Releases of 2016

Read "Nenad Georgievski's Best Releases of 2016" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski


There is a poem by a Russian poet Velimir Khlebnikov titled “When Horses Die" that I came across to by accident. It goes like “When horses die they breathe when grasses die, they wither, when suns die they go out, and when people die they sing songs." For many musicians, the year 2016 was final and ...

Leonard Cohen: You Want it Darker

Read "Leonard Cohen: You Want it Darker" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski


On first listen, Leonard Cohen's album You Want it Darker is a great album. On second listen, it could rank among his best and on third listen, it is obvious that it is the best contender for a Nobel Prize in literature in the next turn of awards. But so are the other albums that have ...

R.I.P Leonard Cohen, "The Lord Of Song"

Front row seats at the Palace Theatre in Waterbury, CT to see Leonard Cohen on his comeback tour a decade ago will always rank in the top handful of the hundreds and hundreds of concerts that I've been privileged to attend.  A true songsmith with a deep and caring soul has left us.  Leonard Cohen, the ...

Paul Kelly: Seven Sonnets & A Song and Death's Dateless Night

Read "Paul Kelly: Seven Sonnets & A Song and Death's Dateless Night" reviewed by Doug Collette


Paul Kelly is one of our most brilliant songwriters in large part because he is so courageous in taking an unconventional approach to his creative endeavors. In the last few years alone, since his last recording of original material under his own name, Spring And Fall (Dramatico, 2012) he's undertaken a tour in which he's performed ...

Read "Claude Nobs: We All Came Out To Montreux..." reviewed by Ian Patterson


Montreux Jazz Festival is fifty. It's a significant milestone and cause for celebration.

Read "Carla Bley: Andando el Tiempo" reviewed by John Kelman

Like Trios, Andando el Tiempo ...

Jeff Buckley: You and I

Read "You and I" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


The life and career of Jeff Buckley were cut extremely short and at a point where the possibilities had barely begun to be apparent.
