by Mark Corroto
The Italian renaissance sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and scientist Michelangelo di Lodovico is often quoted, when referring to his 17-foot sculpted masterpiece David, “every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it."

Uwe Oberg: Work
by Mark Corroto

Di apprezzabile spessore mainstream, il disco concilia ciò che apparentemente risulterebbe inconciliabile: Fryderyk Chopin con Thelonious Monk e Charles Mingus ("Choponkus"), il cool ...
