Read "Chabrol Noir" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Notoriamente appassionato di cinema, Ran Blake ci regala una delle sue opere più significative e appassionate esplorando l'universo di uno dei suoi grandi amori, Claude Chabrol, di cui fin dalla copertina, scopertamente hitchcockiana, il disco rievoca abilmente l'universo espressivo.

Keigo Hirakawa Trio: And Then There Were Three

Read "And Then There Were Three" reviewed by Mark Sullivan

by Mark Sullivan

Pianist Keigo Hirakawa clearly loves bebop, and bandmates Eddie Brookshire (bass) and Fenton Sparks (drums) are on the same page. There's energy and swing in abundance here, and while it is contemporary jazz, it's also telling that their cover of the great bebop pianist Bud Powell's classic “Dance Of The Infidels" fits right in with the ...
