I 10 CD nel CD-Player di... Matteo Bortone
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Tigran Hamasyan -Luys I Luso (ECM -2015). Una delle ultime uscite che preferisco; per la scrittura, ma soprattutto per l'atmosfera cupa che mi tiene inchiodato. Molto poetico e ipnotico. 02. Keith Jarret -Life Between the Exit Signs (Vortex -1967). A mio avviso il miglior album di Jarrett, il suo primo ...

The Branford Marsalis Quartet with Special Guest Kurt Elling: Upward Spiral
by Dan Bilawsky
To one extent or another, jazz has always maintained a discriminatory dividing line between vocalists and instrumentalists. Instead of being viewed as equals--artists on par with all the rest, possessing the same good sense, skill, and stake in an artistic outcome--vocalists have often been unfairly stigmatized and interned in a separate category. But all of that ...
