Pierluigi Billone 1+1=1 Kairos - distr. Jupiter (2006) Valutazione: 4 stelle L’enigmatico titolo 1+1=1 che il compositore Pierluigi Billone ha scelto per questo suo lavoro targato Kairos rimanda ad una citazione tratta dal film “Nostalghia” di Andrey Tarkovskij che recita “una goccia, più una goccia, fanno una goccia più grande, non due” e a livello musicale ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Esponente di punta del jazz sudafricano degli anni ‘90, Moses Taiwa Molelekwa (1973-2001) era un pianista dotatissimo quanto onnivoro musicalmente.
