I Dischi del 2025 secondo Ludovico Granvassu
by Ludovico Granvassu
Immortalare la bellezza e la varietà del jazz pubblicato nel 2025 attraverso una “top ten" appare tanto arduo, vano--e alla fine deludente--quanto cercare di fotografare un tramonto sulla costiera amalfitana usando una rudimentale fotocamera digitale e facendo un forellino sul copriobiettivo. Certo, una foto verrà scattata. Potrebbe persino dimostrare che eri lì, in quel momento, quando ...
Ludovico Granvassu's Garden Of Jazzy Delights 2025
by Ludovico Granvassu
Capturing the breathtaking beauty, range, and diversity of jazz released in 2025 through a list of “10 best albums" feels as challenging, vain--and ultimately disappointing--as trying to photograph the Grand Canyon at sunset by placing a pinhole in front of a rudimentary digital camera's lens.

I dischi del 2025 secondo Angelo Leonardi
by Angelo Leonardi
I cinque dischi di jazz internazionale e i cinque di jazz italiano qui selezionati si collocano, a mio parere, ai vertici di quanto è stato pubblicato nel 2025. Si distinguono per forza innovativa, intensità espressiva e freschezza interpretativa. L'elenco non segue un ordine di valore: ogni titolo occupa, a pieno titolo, il proprio posto al vertice. ...
