Jazz Meets Death
by Matt Lavelle
There once was a great music. It was born in America and branded with the name Jazz. The music was later re-named madam Zzaj, by one of her lovers, the Duke.

Non mancano aperture di credito al free -come nella ballad ...
George Cables: Icons and Influences
by Maurizio Zerbo
Pochi CD come questo trasmettono all'ascoltatore emozioni e swing di incommensurabile intensità. È questa la chiave di lettura di un magnifica prova pianistica, sviluppatasi nel segno di una olimpica leggerezza di tocco e fluidità di fraseggio. Una quintessenza della raffinatezza armonica e della tecnica sopraffina, non gridata solo sussurrata. Una lezione di jazz da parte del ...
