Falso d'autore o geniale trovata? Il caso di "Blue" dei Mostly Other People Do The Killing
by AAJ Staff
Per provare a capire il nuovo lavoro dei Mostly Other People Do the Killing, senza limitarsi a notare solo “quanto sono bravi a rifare esattamente -o quasi-nota per nota la musica dell'originale Kind of Blue“ o a bollare l'operazione come una sorta di divertissement vagamente situazionista e fondamentalmente inutile, sono piuttosto interessanti le annotazioni che il ...

by Mark Corroto
Imagine coming home from work to find the furniture in your house was moved and say, your tooth brush is now on the other side of the bathroom sink. A few inches here, and a few inches there. Would you notice? Maybe yes, if you had been gone just a day. What happens in the same ...

Quadraceratops: Quadraceratops

Kenny Dorham: The Complete ‘Round About Midnight at the Café Bohemia – Blue Note 1524
by Marc Davis
I think I have a new favorite hard bop record. For many years, I considered Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers the perfect hard bop band--the Beatles of the bop set. I still do. I don't know how Blakey managed to find the very best up-and-coming jazz musicians in America, year after year, but ...
