Roberto Zorzi: esplorazione senza confini
by Angelo Leonardi
Il percorso musicale del chitarrista Roberto Zorzi è così ricco ed eclettico che è impossibile includerlo in un particolare genere musicale.

by Richard J Salvucci

Bill Frisell, Beautiful Dreamer
by AAJ Staff
The following is a revised excerpt from “Chapter 20: Frislandia" of Bill Frisell, Beautiful Dreamer by Philip Watson (Faber & Faber, 2022). Bill Frisell's music has always, right from the beginning, raised critical questions about definition and classification, about the very nature of genre.
