Peter Bernstein & Guido Di Leone Quartet: Tribute to Jim Hall
by Maurizio Zerbo
Tribute to Jimmy Hall è ad oggi uno dei più riusciti omaggi discografici all'arte di questo grande maestro della chitarra jazz, scomparso otto anni fa. La dimensione live, ricca di momenti felici, ne ha ricreato tutto l'intenso lirismo apolinneo che rendeva ogni sua nota indispensabile.

by John Kelman
Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava doing a tribute to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson? Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava doing a tribute to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, on ECM? If either of these concepts seem somehow wrong, it's likely because, in forty-plus years, ECM has garnered (beyond its reputation as one of the most important labels in the history of music) its share of magical (and incorrect) thinking. Rava, it turns, out, hadn't paid much attention to ...
