by Alberto Bazzurro
October 7, 2014

Che ci sia un trombone a guidare la cosiddetta front line di un gruppo jazz, ammettiamolo, non è merce poi così usuale.

Mark Guiliana: Beat Poet Of A Different Sort

by Dan Bilawsky
August 29, 2014

Drummer Mark Guiliana's work has nothing to do with benzedrine, berets, William S. Burroughs and the like; he's a beat poet of a different sort, shrewdly dissecting and interpreting the language of rhythm in real-time. Guiliana is one of the few drummers who can successfully and creatively straddle and blur the electro-acoustic dividing line, and he's ...

July 31, 2014

Ormai da qualche anno l'andazzo è questo: due uscite all'anno, tre album alla volta, e via andare.
