by Stefano Merighi
Il trio DE3 (Eubanks-Douglas-McPherson) è toccato dalla grazia in questa incisione dal vivo al Maxwell's di New York. Già la formula di tromba-contrabbasso-batteria è piuttosto rara, vengono in mente al volo Roy Campbell e Kirk Knuffke, ma è la lingua comune fra i tre che si sprigiona già nell'esordio di “Brainfreeze" a catturare ...

Brian Lynch: Madera Latino - A Latin Jazz Perspective on the Music of Woody Shaw
by Maurizio Zerbo
I ritmi asimettrici appartenenti alla tradizione afrocubana sostanziano questo straordinario doppio CD di Brian Lynch, che con Woody Shaw condivide il triste destino di essere musicista grandissimo, ma poco esposto alla luce dei grandi palcoscenici.
