Helen Merrill: The Helen Merrill-Dick Katz Sessions and Casa Forte
by Samuel Chell
Music-making, from conception to realization, is contaminated by the rhetoric of personality. And even more than instrumental music, vocal performances are often poorly served by language focused on the desires and disappointments, frustrations and satisfactions of the artist's “self" rather than on the “art." But quite apart from the self-expression (since the Romantic era, a birthright ...
Grilli, India, Africa e Jazz, ma siamo sicuri sia la Svezia? I sogni "globali" della Country & Eastern

Educated at the Paris Conservatoire and a peer of Fredrick Chopin, Gottschalk carved an impressive pedigree when he hit ...

Misha Alperin, Ketil Bjørnstad & Alon Yavnai: Rolling Out New Piano Rolls
by Martin Gladu
In his pioneering works on cognitive musicology and music psychology, the late Leonard B. Meyer defended the concept of redundancy in its promotion of musical understanding, and for its important role in listeners' emotional engagement. Although the use of leitmotivs and recurrent musical events undoubtedly help listeners construe a cohesive representation of the musical discourse, the ...
