by AAJ Italy Staff
July 3, 2009

La devozione cui si fa riferimento nel titolo dell'album è quella che Rocco John Iacovone nutre nei confronti dei grandi maestri della storia del jazz (e della musica in generale). Qualcuno citato esplicitamente nei titoli dei brani (Dolphy, Bach, Parker). Altri rievocati per assonanza (Cy-cology, basata sugli accordi di “All of Me"). Altri ancora, più poeticamente, ...
