Paul Bley - Kresten Osgood: Florida

by AAJ Italy Staff
Basterebbe un solo ascolto di “Darkness”, la prima traccia, per lasciare senza fiato chiunque decida di avvicinarsi al presente lavoro: due minuti e mezzo sospesi tra silenzio ed emozione, un autentico distillato di sobrietà, commozione e inventiva.

Bley, now 75, ...
