A few years before I began writing about jazz, and while living in New York at the beginning of the 2000s, I ran into the late violinist Leroy Jenkins in the East Village. I didn't know him personally, but he was instantly recognizable, and ...

All'Alpheus di Roma si faceva ancora jazz e mi recai a vedere Oscar Valdambrini e Gianni Basso di nuovo assieme, in compagnia di Dino Piana e suo figlio Franco.
