Kip Hanrahan: Crescent Moon Waning
by Vic Albani
Dopo tre anni di gestazione, crowdfounding e il classico perfezionismo che lo ha sempre contraddistinto (il disco è stato in realtà registrato da luglio 2015 a dicembre 2016) con uno strano scadenzario di pubblicazione si può finalmente dire a dicembre 2018 che il nuovo lavoro discografico di Kip Hanharan è finalmente disponibile in tutto il mondo. ...
Aka Moon - Una Doverosa Retrospettiva
by Mario Calvitti
Constellations Box 1992>2015 (OutThere Music) raccoglie i frutti dei primi 25 anni di attività del trio belga Aka Moon.

Frank Zappa's Jazz Legacy Refuses to Die
by Ludovico Granvassu
