Bertrand Blessing & Pitched Battle: Genève

Read "Genève" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Anche la neutrale Svizzera ha la sua leva jazzistica degli anni Duemiladieci; e il batterista Bertrand Blessing ne è un degno rappresentante. 34 anni, originario di Ginevra, il ragazzo ha idee fresche, una felice vena compositiva, doti strumentali non indifferenti e, quel che più conta, è perfettamente sintonizzato sul presente, al centro di un triangolo estetico ...

Svizzero di nascita, ormai pendolare tra Ginevra e New York, Nicolas Masson è senza dubbio uno dei jazzisti più interessanti della scena elvetica (e forse anche di quella newyorkese).

Nicolas Masson: Yellow (A Little Orange)
