Bruno Chevillon - Tim Berne: Old And Unwise
by AAJ Italy Staff
Chissà se c'è qualche ironia autobiografica, qualche riferimento al proprio percorso artistico, nel vecchi e non-saggi del titolo.

by Anthony Shaw
Marc Ducret SoloMalmintaloHelsinki, FinlandJaunary 29, 2012 A solo performance is by definition an intense experience, and when the musician is committed to a style which is itself close to impenetrable the result can be bewildering; in this case a performance is bound only by the resourcefulness of the audience.
