Jazz is a language now familiar to latitudes once considered unsuspected. Here, in the South, we are sometimes used to hearing the most disparate sound mixes, the result of an anarchic planning devoid of any formative substrate both in terms of listening and attendance. For some time this has no longer been the case, and it is increasingly frequent to encounter musicians whose sound has its roots ...

Coming as his 3rd album release and his 2nd on the Italian Jazz label A.MA Records, Gianluca Vigliar's Eclipse album uses Jazz to focus the listeners on to humanity's anthropogenic influences on our environments. Following on from the themes explored on 2019's Plastic Estrogenus album of plastic waste polluting our oceans Eclipse takes us further afield to make comment on space waste ...

Flying In A Box lands as Enrico Bracco's fifth studio album as bandleader and is perhaps the album in which he pays absolute due to the Afro-American Jazz mentality with its balance of melody and the swing and groove of New York City.
His quintet of guitar, piano, drums, bass and saxophone create a tapestry of meanings and moods which remind us of how instrumental Jazz can tell stories and ...

Guitarist Antonio Trinchera's Fauves fuses his twin musical passions of Jazz and Electronica in an album which takes as its theme the manifesto of the French 19th Century Fauvism art movement. Just as the Fauves painters were characterised by their use of colour as a means of representing emotion Antonio layers meaning into his tracks by combining electronica with Jazz, pop and poly-rhythms; ...

Giovanni Angelini is not just any musician. It is enough to read the cornerstones of his curriculum to understand that we are dealing with an explorer, and also an omnivorous receptor of the most disparate experiences. His apprenticeship with Fabrizio Sferra is striking - Giovanni, of course, is a drummer - the masterclasses directed by people like Dave Douglas or Eric ...

New Serbian Jazz Wave. They call it that. And, for some time now, it has been closely linked with our label.

If today we were to establish the coordinates of the most up-to-date music of the moment, the so called "cosmic groove" (or spiritual jazz if you prefer) we would have to retrace a period - the one between the second half of the sixties and the first mid-seventies - in which the sprouts of a mixture of psychedelia, spirituality, jazz, rock, soul, funk and so on and so forth, were ...
Starting from the second half of the 1950’s the flute began to take on the task of expressing with high, light, cheerful notes what the clarinet had expressed in the swing era in jazz recordings. Until that moment the flute in the liner notes of the records was mentioned under the heading “other instruments”. From Frank Wess and Bud Shank onward, through Sam Most, Herbie ...
Even in Europe, as in the United States, jazz has had to adapt, over time, to coexist with a huge number of different styles. The public has adapted to follow, according to their tastes, any type of musician who comes before him, who compares himself with tradition, with swing, with bop, with free. Despite this, European jazz still remains neglected, sometimes even by its own public, always ...

'And The Beat Goes On' was a famous hit for The Whispers at the end of the '70s. Other times! An epoch when disco music entranced its devotees in clubs world-wide. Many have associated the song with a superficial existence of glamour and champagne, but fewer have understood that tempo and beat are as essential to black music as cellular respiration is to organic life.??Beat ...

The summer of love? It was perfect . . . for two weeks."
So said Paul Kantner, who together with Jefferson Airplane was one of the bards of the period. Of that 'state of mind' not much remains: a handful of songs, some TV spots, the stripped walls of Haight-Ashbury's Victorian houses where bloomed San Francisco's exotic, acid-fuelled culture.
But now, after fifty years, ...

The main feature of their music is the love for jazz and improvisation. Their music merges in a very personal sound that moves in a continuuos interplay ...
