Matteo Bortone
by Vincenzo Roggero
1. Paul Bley, Closer (ESP, 1966). Esplorare senza paura di cadere nel vuoto. Barry Altschul incredibile. A mio avviso, uno dei migliori dischi di piano trio. 2. Elliott Smith, Either/Or (Kill Rock Stars, 1997). Cantautorato struggente post Nick Drake. ”Between the Bars” una delle mie preferite, se avessi una chitarra acustica ...

Tutta l'energia del concerto nell'ottimo Alchemia Club di Cracovia (siamo a dicembre del 2016).
