Henry Threadgill Ensemble Double Up: Old Locks and Irregular Verbs
by Giuseppe Segala
Il criterio dell'integrazione a coppie di strumenti omologhi o affini è uno degli aspetti che maggiormente caratterizzano la musica di Henry Threadgill. Già nel gruppo Very Very Circus si incontrava il raddoppio di chitarra e tuba, mentre l'impianto di Zooid, nato come sestetto in cui si specchiavano chitarra acustica e oud da un lato, violoncello e ...
Henry Threadgill Ensemble Double Up: Old Locks And Irregular Verbs
by Glenn Astarita
Here, one modern era jazz innovator pays homage to another modern era jazz innovator.
