Ai Confini Tra Sardegna e Jazz - XXXI Edizione
by Paolo Peviani
Sant'Anna Arresi (CI) 01-10.09.2016 Per questa trentunesima edizione, il festival Ai Confini Tra Sardegna e Jazz ha messo al centro del proprio programma la figura di Frank Zappa.

Jeff Dayton-Johnson's 2015 Mixtape
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
The narrator of Jean-Jacques Schuhl's 2002 novel Ingrid Caven muses, “I like the connection, the splice, not the things themselves; what's between them, their rapport. Two ideas, images, the bridge between two harmonies for the jazz musician..." It's an interesting esthetic statement regarding jazz: that part of the music's appeal lies not in its components, but ...

Nevertheless, the cream of the crop of the year is listed below in five triads. The ...
