Nulla di ragionato o di ...

by Dan Bilawsky
Thirteen years separated the release of tenor saxophonist Dan Wilensky's first two albums-- And Then Some (Speechless, 1997) and If You Only Knew (Speechless, 2010)--but the saxophonist wasn't sitting around idly during that stretch of time.

Tommy Meier Root Down: The Master and the Rain
by AAJ Italy Staff
Se nello specchietto retrovisore si stagliano le sagome di Fela Kuti e Chris McGregor, se prima si tira in ballo l'Andrew Hill di Compulsion e poi si chiamano a raccolta i Masters Musicians of Jajouka, è chiaro che si sta parlando d'Africa.
