April 18, 2023

A Moscow-raised, classically-trained pianist, Yelena Eckemoff made the move to the United States in 1991, after being bitten by the jazz bug via a Dave Brubeck concert she attended in Moscow in 1987.

by Dan Bilawsky
March 3, 2023

The eponymous debut from Jennifer Wharton's Bonegasm broke the mold. There are no two ways about it. And while some may look at a statement like that and cry hyperbole, history begs to differ.

by Paolo Peviani
December 12, 2022

Il tratto principale della mia musica Credo che la caratteristica principale della musica che scrivo sia la centralità della melodia: anche nelle strutture armoniche e ritmiche più complesse ricerco sempre l'immediatezza del lirismo. In questo modo si crea una connessione istintuale e non razionale con l'ascoltatore che mi permette di essere accessibile senza rinunciare a nulla, ...
