Imitonios - 2018 Jazz Releases, Vol. VI

Έχοντας και αυτό το μήνα τσεκάρει εκατοντάδες καινούρια άλμπουμ, ψάχνοντας για (όσο το δυνατόν) φρέσκο ήχο, δυνατό groove, αξιόλογες συνθέσεις, πρωτότυπες ενορχηστρώσεις, όμορφο παίξιμο, ξεχωριστά soli και καμιά καλή φωνή, μπορώ να σας διαβεβαιώσω ότι αυτά τα 22 κομμάτια της νέας λίστας του modernjazz.gr είναι πράγματι από τα “καλύτερα κομμάτια – ευρέως φάσματος τζαζ – του μήνα”! Και αν, παρόλα αυτά, κάπου δεν βγαίνει νόημα, σιγουρευτείτε ότι ακούτε το μπάσο δυνατά και καθαρά. Εκεί βρίσκεται η αλήθεια. Καλή διασκέδαση!

Η λίστα παίζει από τις πλατφόρμες δωρεάν online ακρόασης
