10th Annual Red Hook Jazz Festival To Be Held Across Two Sundays In Brooklyn’s Urban Meadow, June 11 & 18 From 1-6 PM
“The Red Hook Jazz Festival exists contentedly on the margins, like its namesake neighborhood and much of the music on its bill…The mood in the audience was neighborly, with a higher ratio of small children to youngish adults than I’ve seen at any musical event not expressly pitched as a kids’ show.” —Nate Chinen, New York ...
Anna Webber's Simple Trio with Matt Mitchell & John Hollenbeck: Binary
by Vincenzo Roggero
Lo scheletro di Binary è costituito dalle sei versioni di “Rectangles," sei frammenti di durata compresa tra il minuto e i tre minuti abbondanti, dove angoli, linee, spigoli e intersezioni sollecitano la curiosità dell'ascoltatore e lasciano intravedere intriganti sviluppi. La muscolatura e gli organi vitali vengono aggiunti dai rimanenti sei brani, la cui durata -sempre superiore ...
Matt Mitchell: Forage
by Dan McClenaghan
Alto saxophonist Tim Berne could have been called, at the dawn of the new millennium, the American artist least likely to join the ECM Records roster. The thought here was that Berne's relentless momentum and frequent agitation and flat out wild man brazenness wouldn't fit in well enough with the European impressionism/Nordic cool approach (a definite ...
Jonathan Finlayson: Moving Still

La partita a scacchi giocata da Jonathan Finlayson e dai suoi Sicilian Defense (storica contromossa d'apertura del gioco degli scacchi) ha in Moving Still risultati eccellenti.

Il meglio del 2016 secondo Vincenzo Roggero
by Vincenzo Roggero
Questi i migliori dischi dell'anno? Risposta complicata perché nonostante la massa imponente di musica, fruibile in tutte le forme e in tutti modi possibili, si ha la sensazione che manchi qualcosa (o molto), che siano precluse realtà musicali periferiche rispetto ai normali canali di distribuzione ma importanti dal punto di vista della testimonianza e della valenza ...
