Peo Alfonsi Trio: Oyasin
by Neri Pollastri
Non è nuova la collaborazione del chitarrista sardo Peo Alfonsi con il contrabbassista Salvatore Maiore e il batterista Roberto Dani (che assieme formano la ritmica del trio di Stefano Battaglia): una dozzina d'anni orsono i tre registrarono infatti uno splendido lavoro. per molti versi analogo a questo, Amada.

Nik Bärtsch: Possibility in Paradox
by Geno Thackara
Like the master-less samurai his primary band is named for, Nik Bärtsch forges a path and follows a code all his own.

It makes ...
Andreas Varady: The Quest
by Geno Thackara

by Matt Hooke
Whenever a guitarist or other instrumentalist releases an album, they always run the risk of being egocentric. The album can often turn into a showcase for their instrumental abilities instead of the songs. Chilean guitarist, Carlos Saunier's debut album Inminente shows what happens when an artist bucks that trend. He offers up six solid original songs, ...
