by Raul d'Gama Rose
There is a marvelous gravitas that emanates from the musical waves that rush onward and beat the inner ear, spreading colors and textures like brilliant volatile smears on the music's canvas. The awesome density of Steve Swell's trombone carving the air in great circles of sound, swirling around the growling of Gebhard Ullmann's tenor saxophone brings ...
Steve Swell: Steve Swell's Slammin' The Infinite
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Using something that Walt Whitman said about prolific writing, trombonist Steve Swell posits that the more he creates--the more he writes and therefore performs--the more likely he is to produce something worthwhile.

01. George Lewis - Roscoe Mitchell - Muhal Richard Abrams - Streaming (Pi Recordings - 2005). E' terribilmente importante avere una documentazione sonora di questi tre maestri.
