I Dischi del 2025 secondo Ludovico Granvassu

Read "I Dischi del 2025 secondo Ludovico Granvassu" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu


Immortalare la bellezza e la varietà del jazz pubblicato nel 2025 attraverso una “top ten" appare tanto arduo, vano--e alla fine deludente--quanto cercare di fotografare un tramonto sulla costiera amalfitana usando una rudimentale fotocamera digitale e facendo un forellino sul copriobiettivo.

Read "Ludovico Granvassu's Garden Of Jazzy Delights 2025" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu


Capturing the breathtaking beauty, range, and diversity of jazz released in 2025 through a list of “10 best albums" feels as challenging, vain--and ultimately disappointing--as trying to photograph the Grand Canyon at sunset by placing a pinhole in front of a rudimentary digital camera's lens.

Jerome Sabbagh: Stand Up!

Read "Stand Up!" reviewed by Joshua Weiner


While much great jazz has emerged from one-off encounters among musicians, there is a lot to be said for the synergy of longstanding working bands.
