Dr. Adder breaks through another barrier of the debaserian review: poor editors! ;-) beautiful anyway.

Thank you all for the kind comments. @Antonio: Berne really depends on personal taste and, believe it or not, about ten years ago I found it unbearable. I would say that aging (aging! What an ugly word! Let's say maturity) has the opposite effect on me. @Ludovica: all opinions are welcome, even if they require many lines to be explained, why not?

Most cordial monsieur Sfascia, I shall do my utmost to send some samples as soon as possible, so that you may comfortably decide in the privacy of your room who/what/how to disarticulate and/or fracture and/or burn. Au revoir.

Beautiful review, worthy of the masterpiece being reviewed. Well done!

I finally listened to it, and after listening to it I even bought it. And maybe I'll even gift it to a friend. In short, a really great album.

Happy New Year to everyone. A very beautiful record, maybe not essential from Towner but very beautiful. A review beyond good and evil.

I absolutely loved it.

I quote comment 16. I also prefer "54", but "Q" is exceptional too. Great review, big Cap.

@ThirdEye: I understand that the review is somewhat of a negative critique, but keep in mind that I had been waiting for the event for about fifteen years. In the meantime, I had several opportunities to listen to Garbarek in concert, but these never materialized, for one reason or another. And I was still disappointed, what can I say? Many have an opinion that differs from mine, both in the audience and among antoniodeste's friends, as can be read in the comments. So, maximum freedom to opinions and tastes; everyone can then draw the conclusions they deem most appropriate. Leaving Garbarek aside, I would wholeheartedly recommend the Padua festival (despite the cumbersome sponsor), which has grown over the years thanks to the enlightened artistic direction of Claudio Fasoli. Damiani at the beginning of his concert said, "Festivals run by musicians are the best," and who can argue with him? Fasoli has proven himself to be not only an excellent musician but also a skilled listener and interceptor of trends and influences in today's improvised music, coming from both Italy and abroad. I also have a certain fondness for the musicians that some might call "minor," rather, let's say they are not under the spotlight dedicated to the big stars. My search is driven by curiosity and (uhm) "frugality," since often in this way one can see excellent concerts for very little or nothing at all. From this perspective, the concerts at Pollini have been thrilling! ;-) Oh, and you’re right: Paolo Damiani's album is truly beautiful and captivating, "easy" but not simplistic.

Hi Count, how are you? Yes, it's true, you recommended Weber's. The proposed training looks nice, but won't they be musicians with excessive personality? Too many roosters in the henhouse, and so on and so forth.
