Pat Metheny: From This Place

Read "From This Place" reviewed by John Kelman


It's been a full six years since Pat Metheny last released a studio recording. This, despite the guitarist who has become, in a career now in the midst of its fifth decade, one of the most famous and influential jazz guitarists of his (or, some would argue, any) generation, reportedly having enough material in the can for five or six releases. Nor is it as if he hasn't kept busy. The guitarist, for whom live performance has always ...

Antonio Sanchez & Migration: Lines in the Sand

Read "Lines in the Sand" reviewed by Claudio Bonomi


Antonio Sanchez, compositore e batterista di fama internazionale, confeziona una suite che non è solo un tributo e un atto di solidarietà nei confronti dei migranti che quotidianamente tentano di varcare il confine tra Messico e Stati Uniti in cerca di una vita migliore, ma anche un atto d'accusa contro le politiche demagogiche e piene di retorica di una Casa Bianca ormai sorda a ogni istanza umanitaria o di cambiamento.

Antonio Sanchez - WDR Big Band conducted by Vince Mendoza: Channels of Energy

Read "Channels of Energy" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

Un progetto che dà una veste orchestrale a sue passate composizioni (già presenti negli album New Life, Three Times Three e TheMeridianSuite).

Pulling sound from nothing more than skins and cymbals, Sanchez managed to produce and reflect serious emotional content. So is it any surprise that the next phase of his evolutionary ...
