Matt Slocum: Black Elk's Dream

Read "Black Elk's Dream" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo


In Italia lo si conosce con il nome di Alce Nero, celeberrimo capo militare e religioso degli indiani sioux. A lui è dedicato questo ambizioso CD, votato alla traduzione musicale della spiritualità degli indiani d'America. Vi predomina un'aura malinconica e riflessiva che attualizza l'eredità coltraniana lungo un tappeto sonoro circolare, sempre in mutazione. Le dodici parti ...

Jimmy Herring: Subject to Change without Notice

Read "Subject to Change without Notice" reviewed by Ian Patterson
