Andrea Massaria, Bruce Ditmas: The Music Of Carla Bley
by Giuseppe Segala
I brani composti da Carla Bley nei primi anni Sessanta rappresentano una miniera dove i filoni auriferi sono diffusi in modo costante, emanano forza, freschezza, intuizione. Se, da un lato, il guizzo melodico ricorda Ornette Coleman, per altri versi c'è una personalità tutta originale, venata di tante sfumature, che riflettono umori dal Sud America all'Europa del ...
Brad Myers & Michael Sharfe: Sanguinaria (Hopeful Songs)
by Roger Farbey
Cincinnati-based Brad Myers's follow-up recording to his 2015 quintet album “Prime Numbers" is essentially a duo record with his bassist colleague Michael Sharfe.
