I Dischi del 2025 secondo Maurizio Zerbo
by Maurizio Zerbo
Il 2025 sarà ricordato da addetti ai lavori e jazzofili per l'altissima qualità e la notevole varietà delle proposte discografiche, animate da forze policentriche e da musiche non sempre direttamente jazzistiche, ma accomunate a questa estetica da spirito, tecniche e soluzioni formali.

Cecile McLorin Salvant: Oh Snap

Mary Halvorson: About Ghosts
by Doug Collette
Since Mary Halvorson began her prolific affiliation with Nonesuch Records, she has refused to repeat herself except with a purpose.

On five of these ...
