Read "Geno Thackara's Best Releases of 2016" reviewed by Geno Thackara

by Geno Thackara

I always say it when recapping every year, and it's been truer than ever for me since I was fortunate to join All About Jazz at the start of 2016: there's always too much great stuff to take in. There are always too many albums we don't get around to during the year and too little ...

The Esbjorn Svennson Trio (e.s.t.) brought in classical, rock, pop and techno elements; The Bad Plus plays with ...

Sonar: Black Light

Read "Black Light" reviewed by Claudio Bonomi

by Claudio Bonomi

Si chiamano Sonar, vengono dalla Svizzera e questo è il loro terzo lavoro. Sveliamo subito di che si tratta, prendendo spunto dalle note di copertina redatte nientemeno che dal mirabile John Kelman. L'ispirazione di Black Light è l'album dei King Crimson del 1973 Lark's Tongues in Aspic e in particolare il lavoro di ricerca ...
