Because the nuances of his compositions are as ...

Lorin Cohen: Home

by Angelo Leonardi
Vari aspetti distinguono quest'album rispetto alla produzione del mainstream contemporaneo. Per il suo esordio da leader il contrabbassista e compositore Lorin Cohen ha riunito un settetto dall'originale e accattivante tavolozza timbrica, ottenuta accostando i suoni del vibrafono (Joe Locke), dell'armonica (Yvonnick Prene) e dello steel pan (Victor Provost).

Thomas Chapin: Never Let Me Go

by Giuseppe Segala
L'ascolto di questo cofanetto fa rinascere aspra l'amarezza per la scomparsa prematura, nel 1998 a soli quarant'anni, di Thomas Chapin.
