Keith Tippett: R.I.P.

By DUNCAN HEINING

Keith Tippett's death on Sunday, 14th June 2020 robbed British and European music of one of its finest talents. The death on any musician of even minor significance often leads many critics reaching for the Thesaurus and tripping over their adjectives in a head-rush of hyperbole.

Il contrabbasso di Rogers, su suo stesso brevetto, prevede ...

Diverse istanze confluiscono nel vocabolario del gruppo: dalla musica “eurocolta” al free di ispirazione afro-americana all’improvvisazione libera europea.
