Johnnie Valentino: Stingy Brim
by AAJ Italy Staff
La tuba o contrabbasso a fiato, lo strumento più grave della famiglia degli ottoni, ingombrante e tecnicamente rigido, ha svolto un ruolo fondamentale, all’inizio del secolo scorso, nell’affermarsi delle prime jazz band essendone stato un metronomo infallibile e gioioso nello stesso tempo.

But what becomes apparent when you listen is that this is some very modern jazz--unique compositions and great sounding music. Johnny Valentino, a Los ...
Johnnie Valentino: Stingy Brim
by Dan McClenaghan
