William Parker Raining on the Moon: Corn Meal Dance

Read "Corn Meal Dance" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Giganteggia la figura di William Parker nel panorama della musica improvvisata di oggi: predicatore, musicista immenso, teorico, storico coscienzioso, giustiziere a volte, catalizzatore di talenti ed energie, animatore straordinario e responsabile, almeno in gran parte, della rinascita di certo black free gravitante intorno all’area newyorchese. E, d’altro canto, il contrabbassista ha le spalle larghe e non ...

William Parker: The Inside Songs of Curtis Mayfield - Live in Rome

Read "The Inside Songs of Curtis Mayfield - Live in Rome" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Tralasciamo per una volta le sacrosante considerazioni sulla centralità della figura di William Parker nella scena attuale, e non solo, della musica improvvisata più creativa.
