Carla Bley/Andy Sheppard/Steve Swallow: Andando el Tiempo
by Karl Ackermann
There are few figures in modern music that are truly more iconic than Carla Bley. Her list of accomplishments are impossible to chronicle in this limited space, but suffice to say that her influence traverses genres, styles and generations, in a way that perhaps no other artist has approached. Her early crowning jewel—the jazz opera Escalator ...
Ben Monder: Amorphae
by Mario Calvitti
Ben Monder è un chitarrista difficile da catalogare, per via di uno stile che concede poco o nulla alla tradizione, e una ricerca su suoni e timbri che, pur se talvolta lo avvicina a Bill Frisell, è portata avanti in una maniera personale e originale che lo distingue da altri sperimentatori come David Torn. Il suo ...

Tom Rainey Trio: Hotel Grief
by Stefano Merighi
Se c'è Tom Rainey dietro i tamburi, state certi che la musica palpita, veleggia, s'impenna.
