Didier Verna @-quartet: Roots And Leaves
by Chris Mosey
Parisian guitarist Didier Verna plays very much in the Pat Metheny tradition but with a sunny, melodic touch.

Yaron Herman: Everyday
by Vincenzo Roggero
È tutt'altro che noioso, e questo è un bel biglietto da visita per un duo piano/batteria. Non è un omaggio a chicchessia né la solita passerella di standard più o meno noti, a meno che si vogliano considerare tali “Retrograde" di James Blake e “Prelude n° 4, Opus 74" di Alexander Scriabin.

Il repertorio in ...
