Saxophonist Noah Kaplan's second album for the Switzerland-based hatOLOGY label equates to a six-year gap, following his debut, Descendants (2011).

He skirts the free-zone here, ...

Chi sono i 'discendenti' a cui fa riferimento nel titolo il giovane saxofonista Noah Kaplan? Certamente non sono i pronipoti hawaiani del bel film con George Clooney, che porta lo stesso titolo (in Italia non si sa perché è stato ribattezzato Paradiso Amaro).

There, you'll find one of the definitions read “deriving or descending from an ancestor." In the case of saxophonist Noah Kaplan, he's learned from microtonal pioneer Joe Maneri, and with ...
