by Mark Corroto

Wadada Leo Smith: Solo: Reflections and Meditations on Monk
by Vincenzo Roggero
Omaggiare la figura e la musica di Thelonious Monk è sempre una sfida ardua da superare per qualsiasi musicista. Se poi la si affronta in solitaria e nemmeno al pianoforte bensì alla tromba, ardua lo diventa ancora di più.

by Karl Ackermann
The Cold War that began in 1947 and ran for forty-four years, had jazz music as its primary deterrent to global tensions, and it did more to foster good will between the U.S. and global citizens than any previous program launched by the U.S. Department of State.

1. Thelonious Monk, Blue Monk (Bandstand, 1988). Questo disco è un bootleg registrato al Newport Jazz Festival nel 1966.

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. Live in concert, the trade-off for the lack of second takes, is the musicians' ability to feed off of the energies of the audience. Their true identities ...
