The Pat Metheny you don’t expect: free-jazz “Melody still has a place here, which suggests that Metheny’s interest in the Original Coleman legacy may be carrying forward in his own work more intently than it is in the composer’s.

Recensione di My Foolish Heart di Ralph Towner, ECM, 2017 http://player.ecmrecords.com/towner-2516 Ci sono delle musiche che stanno bene nel silenzio. Provo a spiegarmi meglio: ci sono delle musiche che, se ascoltate precedute da momenti di silenzio sembrano naturalmente legate ad esso. Nascono, si immergono, giocano, ritornano nel silenzio. Ne sono una sorta di complemento naturale,…
