Red Wines From Etna

by Matt Penman
August 10, 2021

One of the weirdest wine regions in the world, the vines of Etna on the Italian island of Sicily grow on the slopes of the huge active volcano which is constantly belching gases and ash, and occasionally letting loose lava flows that can threaten all the hard work of the daring winemakers that choose to work ...

Siena Jazz 2021

by Serena Antinucci
August 9, 2021

Durante una chiacchierata con il contrabbassista Paolino Dalla Porta e il batterista Fabrizio Sferra, alla fine della mia permanenza alla cinquantunesima edizione dei Seminari Estivi Internazionali di Siena Jazz, ho capito cosa significhi davvero vivere il jazz.

June 10, 2021

The wild Loire river runs from the Atlantic ocean deep into France's center, and there is beautiful, diverse, and historically under-appreciated wine throughout its entire length. But the middle section, from Angers to the city of Tours, is where Chenin Blanc rules. A varietal with a real talent for expressing the land, it sucks up available ...

Nir Felder: II

by Mike Jacobs
January 19, 2021

Six years after the release of his solo debut, Golden Age (Okeh, 2014), Nir Felder's follow-up II brings into sharper focus some of the guitarist's more compelling dichotomies as a player. His instrument of choice is the usually more crystalline-sounding Stratocaster but Felder somehow elicits a fatter-than-a-big-ol'-jazz-box tone from it. His style as ...
