Wayne Wallace Latin Jazz Quintet: Intercambio
by Angelo Leonardi
Trombonista, bandleader e produttore, Wayne Wallace è una delle figure eminenti del Latin Jazz, termine ovviamente riduttivo che non coglie la ricchezza della fusione tra ritmi caraibici e jazz moderno.

Ralph Alessi: Quiver
by Mark Sullivan
