Luca Vitali - Il suono del Nord
by Luca Canini
Il Libro Aurore boreali, fiordi, salmoni, un re che si chiama Harald, fenomenali sciatori, un paio di attaccanti spilungoni che hanno lasciato il segno anche in Italia e una scena jazz da crepare d'invidia.

Nils Petter Molvær: Switch
by Alberto Bazzurro
A tre anni dal precedente Baboon Moon, ecco ripresentarsi il cinquantatreenne trombettista norvegese con uno dei suoi album certamente più interessanti e riusciti.
