Michael Bisio: Accortet

Read "Accortet" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

A history of the accordion in jazz would be a slight volume. The accordion sits midway between horn and keyboard, and perhaps it's a surprise given its versatility that it doesn't have a higher profile. Klezmer influenced companies apart, the rollcall at the exploratory end of the spectrum would include Anthony Braxton (of course), The Claudia ...

Read "Shuffle Along" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo

by Maurizio Zerbo

Il progetto intrapreso da Ehud Asherie per questo album è ambizioso; re-interpretare il songbook di “Shuffle Along," primo musical di Broadway di matrice afroamericana.
