Saxophone Summit: Visitation
by Neri Pollastri
La formazione dei Saxophone Summit esiste ormai da diversi anni. Nella sua prima versione, quella di Gathering of Spirits (Telarc -2004), al fianco di Dave Liebman e Joe Lovano c'era anche lo scomparso Michael Brecker, qui sostituito da Ravi Coltrane (ma la registrazione è del febbraio 2011, mentre dallo scorso anno Coltrane è stato a sua ...
Phil Markowitz, Zach Brock: Perpetuity
by Vincenzo Roggero
La presenza di due batterie e di due bassi (uno acustico e l'altro elettrico), la dovrebbe dire lunga sull'importanza della componente ritmica in Perpetuity. Ma l'indicazione è parzialmente e piacevolmente ingannevole perchè chi si aspettava una groviglio di ritmi, una giungla percussiva poderosa pronta a lanciare in orbita il virtuoso di turno rimane profondamente deluso.
I 10 Cd nel CD Player di... Phil Markowitz
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Count Basie/Duke Ellington -The Count Meets the Duke (Columbia -1961). Incontro ai massimi livelli.

Andrew Rathbun: Numbers & Letters
by Dan McClenaghan
