Otis Redding
Born:
Forty years after his passing, the legacy of Otis Redding remains stronger than ever. As the decades have gone by since December 10, 1967 when the world tragically lost one of its greatest soul singers, the power and impact of this Georgia-born R&B pioneer’s music and career shows no signs of diminishing. Through a recorded legacy that spans a mere six years (less than a decade?) but is filled with classic after classic, the man whose distinctive music influenced British rock stars and his American soul music peers alike continues to be accorded and afforded the global recognition and (borrowing the title of one of his most enduring compositions) respect he richly deserves
Alexander Hawkins: Music as a Generous Space
by Giuseppe Segala
Born in Oxford in 1981, Alexander Hawkins is one of the leading musicians of his generation and a significant figure on the contemporary international scene.

Alexander Hawkins: La Musica è uno Spazio generoso
by Giuseppe Segala
Nato a Oxford nel 1981, Alexander Hawkins è musicista di punta della propria generazione e della scena contemporanea internazionale. Persona di grande disponibilità e affabilità, è tra i pochissimi musicisti che nella sua fascia di età si confrontano in modo congruo al temperamento dei pionieri che dagli anni Sessanta in poi si sono avvicendati sulla scena ...
Roberto Roema Y Su Apollo Sound: Roberto Roema Y Su Apollo Sound
by Chris May
Britain has been enriched by immigrants from many parts of the world, but people arriving from Spanish-speaking Central America and the Caribbean have been relatively few in number, and far less visible. So in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when salsa edged out of Spanish Harlem towards the US mainstream, Britain was mostly left out ...
Rolling Stones: Live At The Wiltern (2CD/DVD)
by Doug Collette
Cowed as the Rolling Stones may have been by the tragedy that was Altamont in December 1969, 'the greatest rock and roll band in the world' nevertheless came to take some risks as their career evolved in the wake of the Mick Jagger/Keith Richards rapprochement in the late Eighties. Machine-like as the operation became ...
James "Plunky" Branch: Afrobeat, Funk e Spiritual Jazz
by Angelo Leonardi
Da circa un decennio il jazz statunitense e britannico vede l'emergere di giovani protagonisti che spezzano i confini tra i generi “colti" e popolari, operando una sintesi sfaccettata tra le molte espressioni della black music. Un torrente tumultuoso che viene alimentato dalle spinte politico-identitarie della comunità afroamericana (la rinascita dell'Afrofuturismo, il movimento Black Lives Matter), che ...

Norah Jones: I Dream of Christmas
by Jim Trageser
With Tony Bennett's retirement, the mantle of legitimate straight-ahead pop crooners is now firmly in the hands of subsequent generations: Harry Connick, Jr., Diana Krall and Norah Jones. Not pure jazz singers, of which there are numerous stellar examples, these singers are more in the Bennett-Sinatra-Fitzgerald mold, bringing a jazz sensibility to pop music.
Reflections on Clyde Stubblefield
by Leo Sidran

Including interviews and live recordings with him going back to 1972. This episode features conversations with Clyde and Ben Sidran, anecdotes about ...
Graham Parker: Five Old Souls
by Doug Collette
It only stands to reason Graham Parker would want to document the live performance that comprises 5 Old Souls. Cloud Symbols (100% Records, 2018) was an utterly remarkable return to form. With uncanny accuracy but not one iota of self-consciousness, the curmudgeonly Brit hearkened directly to that earthy one-two punch by which he first gained attention ...
