There is a cliche in Jazz to characterize players of a certain class and longstanding influence as “youthful" or otherwise endlessly inventive despite multi-decade, multidisciplinary careers. Its excessive use is justified by elements of the medium's own construction and history. Jazz itself appears to be ...
Alex Harding, Lucian Ban: Blutopia
by Neri Pollastri
Il pianista Lucian Ban e il sassofonista baritono Alex Harding, assidui collaboratori dalla fine degli anni Novanta, riuniscono qui un quintetto di stelle per interpretare una musica assai diversificata di brano in brano e la cui sintesi è forse espressa da una citazione del filosofo Ibn Al-Arabi riportata nel libretto, la quale celebra il movimento quale ...

Hvalfugl: Bag Vore Øjne Strømmer Drømme Sagte Forbi

This creature does not exist and yet it does exist in music. Since 2016, the Danish trio, Hvalfugl (Whale-bird), has created its ...
