Listening to Jazz Knowingly and Authentically: The Epistemology and Ontology of Jazz
by Victor L. Schermer
"What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought.'" --David Hume I deliberately used the words “epistemological" and “ontological" in the title in order to attract your attention. If you don't know what they mean, you're going feel put off or curious. If you do know, you're going ...
Tino Tracanna
by Paolo Peviani
Il tratto principale della mia musica Mi è difficile essere categorico, ma te ne dico qualcuno che mi viene in mente osservandomi. Ancorata al jazz ma ispirata a mondi musicali diversi; ricerca di sintesi e essenzialità sia nella parte tematica che possibilmente negli sviluppi; composizione ed organizzazione della forma; compresenza di ambiti tonali, non tonali ...

Knut Riisnæs Quartet: 2nd Thoughts
by Mark Sullivan
Contemporary Norwegian jazz has a well-deserved reputation for atmospheric beauty.

Greg Lake & Keith Emerson: Their Best Work Together
by John Kelman
While it should come as no surprise that musical heroes from across all genres are beginning to die off, some of the highest profile losses are, in particular, in the rock/pop world, where many of its biggest stars are now in their mid-to-late sixties...or older. Few would disagree that one of the years biggest losses happened ...
