January 12, 2015

Metà in studio (novembre 2013) e metà dal vivo (2007), questo doppio CD offre uno spaccato alquanto eloquente delle potenzialità del chitarrista Michael Musillami (tutte sue le composizioni) e del suo ormai rodatissimo trio (numerose le incisioni già realizzate), che ospita ora il pianoforte di Kris Davis (e in due brani anche il sax tenore di ...

With ten albums as a leader in his portfolio, guitarist and composer, Michael Musillami remains disproportionately under the radar in the public domain.

Se in particolare prendiamo in considerazione i chitarristi ho la sensazione che il numero dei cosiddetti musician's musicians sia più alto: a differenza di quanto successo nel rock, la chitarra spesso non ha avuto ...

May 8, 2010

In an extraordinarily touching story, Musillami's liner notes say what cannot be said musically. But the music, executed by his outstanding regular trio, expresses more than can be ...
