Aaron Seeber: First Move

by Neri Pollastri
Vent'anni fa, per la precisione il 2 febbraio del 2002, se ne andava Mal Waldron, straordinario artista che ha lasciato tracce indelebili nella musica jazz e che forse non ha avuto—e non ha tutt'ora—il riconoscimento che avrebbe meritato. Cinque anni dopo, nel febbraio del 2007, la sassofonista Cristina Mazza, che con lui aveva lavorato ...
