Alberto Pinton Quartet: Live in Japan
by Mark Corroto
You never really recognize a musician or ensemble until you hear them live. In the studio, artists have the luxury of multiple takes and edits to fine-tune their sound.

Their music is reduced to its essential components of sound, pulse, and interplay. The two German ...
