Human Element: Human Element
by John Kelman

Miles Davis: The Unissued Japanese Concerts
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo doppio CD, quanto mai prezioso, va finalmente a integrare la sparuta documentazione (un solo album, l'ufficiale Columbia Miles in Tokyo) riguardante il fugace passaggio - fra George Coleman e Wayne Shorter - di un Sam Rivers ancora lontano dai fasti degli anni Settanta nel quintetto davisiano.

Dave Douglas Brass Ecstasy: United Front: Brass Ecstasy At Newport
by Mark Corroto
Brass bands, like wild animals are best viewed in their native habitats. Watching a lion on the savanna is a much different experience than seeing it caged in a zoo.

Walter Kolosky: Affairs of the Heart
by Ian Patterson
It took journalist Walter Kolosky eight months to put together Follow Your Heart: John McLaughlin Song by Song (Abstract Logix, 2010), though, in effect, this impressive listener's guide has been the culmination of a lifetime listening to the English guitarist's music.
