Fred Casadei: quello che sto ascoltando

Mats Gustafsson

1. Hank Mobley, Hank Mobley (Blue Note, 1957). Il disco jazz definitivo?! È tutto perfettamente bilanciato in questa supersession. Il sax tenore è poetico e la tromba di Art Farmer non è mai stata così lirica ed emozionante. Art Blakey è un genio dello swing e la foto di copertina è una delle mie ...
The Blue Notes and the Brotherhood of Breath - Marching to a Different Drum
by Duncan Heining
Early one August morning in 1964, seven people crossed the border by train passing from South Africa into Mozambique.

Barry Guy: Ploughs into Swordshares, Part 1-3
by Duncan Heining
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 Edgar Varèse's defiant statement in the face of public and critical indifference -"The present day composer refuses to die"—could so easily apply to composer-bassist Barry Guy.
