Certo! Inviami pure il testo che desideri tradurre.

Well, at least I was fortunate enough to catch the Abdullah Ibrahim Trio, Richard Galliano, John Scofield, and Pat Metheny too, but Mehldau - damn it - I'm really missing him from my collection; I hope to remedy that as soon as possible :)

If you want, max, I'll give you the floor; right now I have so many other records to listen to, so we can share the pleasure of reviewing :)

New blood, creativity, and I would add true vitality. In my opinion, Mehldau at some point felt the need to change direction, perhaps sensing the risk of becoming entrenched in established patterns. The addition of Ballard really conveys this idea. So, did you see him in concert? Wow, I would have loved to be there. Anyway, listening again in light of your words has paid off, not that I doubted it. I like the interpretation you gave of the album; the cover is significant in this sense as well, like a pause in the journey—I had never thought of it that way. :)

Dear Odradek, I like all of Mehldau's albums, but the one that has come back to the player the most is "Songs." Now I'm enjoying quite a bit the latest "day is done" from the new trio. Bai bai.

Not one of my favorites by Mehldau, but still a great album, and your reading makes me want to listen to it again; I’ll do that tonight. Debaser is also good for dusting off forgotten gems :) You know I prefer today’s trio structure with Jeff Ballard instead of Rossy, right? What do you think?

Bob Dylan The Times They Are A-Changin'

I don't know... even this reading doesn't completely convince me, especially towards the end. I don't understand why this album should be interpreted in light of the subsequent electric turn.

In my opinion, the criticism of musical depth makes little sense, and I also don’t understand what it means that this album has "entered history beyond its own merits." Dylan came from the myth of Woody Guthrie... I don’t know. As for the rest, I had already shared my thoughts on this album in the twin reviews. Bye.

Everything is beautiful: the review, the album, and the comments.

Charlie Haden Quartet West

Charlie Haden is not just a musical reference. His records contain so much that it's hard to summarize their content. The "Quartet West" project is one of the most interesting ones, although I might prefer "Now Is The Hour" to this. I noticed in the review the mention of another m e r a v i g l i o so record, namely that Hyperion with Higgins by Charles Lloyd (or perhaps there were two records, but I remember the first one better). As for "Not In Our Name," I confirm what Mr. Green Genes says: it’s a splendid album, to listen to and listen to again. I also wrote a few lines about that album, and I'm waiting for other opinions; in the meantime, "don't give up: the struggle continues!!!!"
