Ryan Cohan: The River
Tra le vivide pagine del CD si segnala "Last Night at the Mannenberg" in ricordo di una jam session africana del leader, che prova a riecheggiare il profilo ritmico-melodico della mbira mentre i disegni narrativi dei fiati lo contrappuntano rievocando mimeticamente un coro dello Zimbabwe. Avvincente sia sul piano dell'ideazione che della realizzazione, il progetto chiama creativamente a raccolta i musicisti per aggiungere timbri e cadenze di grande fascino, in bilico tra i due orizzonti culturali di riferimento.
