Tomas Fujiwara: Triple Double
by Vincenzo Roggero
La più popolare delle forme musicali nordamericane -il blues -introdotta da due delle chitarre meno convenzionali in circolazione, disturbata da un paio di trombe che proprio canoniche non sono e da una coppia di poderose batterie che sostengono e il tutto.
