Claudio Sanna: Ammentos
by Mark Corroto
A new voice worthy of your consideration is Sardinian pianist Claudio Sanna. His debut Ammentos, or “Memories,' finds a fully developed mature sound that is formed by classical music, but as with many jazz artists, open to other musics. Classically trained artists like Sanna, Keith Jarrett and Herbie Hancock before him, can also be ...

Ron Carter and the WDR Big Band: My Personal Songbook
by Angelo Leonardi
Ron Carter non è solo un protagonista indiscusso nella storia del contrabbasso ma anche un eccellente compositore che, a dispetto dei 3000 album registrati, non ne ha mai dedicato uno per intero ai suoi brani. Erano anni che il produttore Lucas Schmid voleva realizzare questo progetto ma solo nel novembre 2013, dopo una lunga ...
Herbie Hancock: Speak Like a Child – 1968
by Marc Davis
Speak Like a Child feels like the mash-up of two separate albums. One is a lyrical set of three tunes--mellow songs with childhood themes. The other is a standard set of three bop tunes. Both are nice, but the quieter songs are maybe a bit too tame. Give Herbie Hancock credit for trying something ...
Franco D'Andrea uno e trino

La pubblicazione del triplo CD con i concerti registrati al Parco della Musica di Roma, offre l'occasione per una chiacchierata con Franco D'Andrea, che partendo da questo lavoro, un vero autoritratto provvisorio, si racconta con generosità sulla soglia del suo settantacinquesimo compleanno e dall'alto del suo mezzo secolo abbondante di attività artistica. All ...
Racha Fora: Racha S'Miles

Mark Wingfield: The Continuing Evolution of the Electric Guitar
by John Mark McGuire
I was first introduced to the music of Mark Wingfield through listening to his first duo album with the inventive genius of Massachusetts acoustic mastermind, Kevin Kastning. Although in my gut I suspected it, it was almost impossible, still, to believe when it was confirmed that both players had indeed improvised the entire album. While retaining ...
