Mel Davis: It's About Time!
by AAJ Italy Staff
24 anni fa, Mel Davis non avrebbe saputo se la musica gli avesse dato davvero una “mano”. Fino a quel momento l’adolescenza l’aveva passata tra un night club e un altro accompagnato dal suo Hammond B3.

Francesco Guaiana / Luca Lo Bianco / Jimmy Weinstein: Hitch_Hikers
by Mark Corroto
Jazz lives! Brothers and sisters, ever since a fan scrawled that “Bird lives quote around New York to keep the memory of Charlie Parker from fading, the rallying cry has never been in doubt.
