Gerry Hemingway e l'arte del duo
by AAJ Italy Staff
Gerry Hemingway - Thomas Lehn Kinetics Auricle 2008 Valutazione: 3,5 stelle Non c'è dubbio che Gerry Hemingway sia un batterista che invoglia al dialogo: lo fa all'interno di formazioni allargate, lo fa con una sensibilità ancora più sottile quando si trova vis-à-vis con altri musicisti che condividono la medesima spinta all'esplorazione.

New Rhodri Davies on Another Timbre
by John Eyles
Since 2000, harpist and electronicist Rhodri Davies has evolved continuously.

Julian Lage and Jimmy Greene: The Delight in Sharing
by Martin Gladu
For an artist to belong to a tradition implies a certain indebtedness to an historic wealth of knowledge most often found in those somewhat advanced in years. That said, there will always be precocious newcomers who will drop into the scene and shake its contentions anew. Not that long ago, a young tenor saxophonist called Michael ...
