Giancarlo Mazzù - Luciano Troja: Seven Tales About Standards - Vol. 2

Read "Seven Tales About Standards - Vol. 2" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Questo disco in duetto abbastanza atipico tra chitarra e pianoforte (tra i non molti precedenti si ricorda quello, straordinario tra Bill Evans e Jim Hall) potrà stupire solo chi non conosca i due eccellenti protagonisti: Giancarlo Mazzù e Luciano Troja, membri di una delle formazioni più creative della scena italiana, Mahanada (leggi la recensione del loro ...

Read "Mannahatta" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Autori di due ottimi album nei quali legavano molto originalmente musica etnica e improvvisazione radicale (leggi le recensioni di Uno e di Taranta's Circle) i Mahanada si sono recati due anni orsono negli Stati Uniti per una breve ma intensa tournée (nove giorni, sette concerti), conclusasi con una registrazione, realizzata a New York sotto la forte ...

Read "Taranta's Circle" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Dopo un fortunato tour estivo negli USA, i Mahanada - quartetto di musicisti siciliani dei quali ci eravamo già occupati lo scorso anno, parlando del bel disco [uno] - presentano questo nuovo lavoro, ispirato come è loro costume alla tradizione etnica ma condotto con ampio uso dell'improvvisazione e degli stilemi jazz.
