Charlie Rouse: Cinnamon Flower: The Expanded Version
by Angelo Leonardi
Il decennale sodalizio con Thelonious Monk ha dato ampia notorietà a Charlie Rouse ma ne ha anche oscurato l'immagine e le potenzialità che aveva espresso negli anni cinquanta (quando suonò nelle orchestre di Duke Ellington e Count Basie, si unì al quintetto di Bennie Green e fondò con Julius Watkins i Jazz Modes). Dopo aver lasciato Monk nel ...
Eddie Daniels: To Milton With Love

Even in a field as conducive to covers as jazz, it is unusual to find a complete reinterpretation of an album with all its tracks in their original order.
