The title "Octave Up" symbolically represents a new phase in the author's creative work and a ...
Jazz is a language now familiar to latitudes once considered unsuspected. Here, in the South, we are sometimes used to hearing the most disparate sound mixes, the result of an anarchic planning devoid of any formative substrate both in terms of listening and attendance. For some time this has no longer been the case, and it is increasingly frequent to encounter musicians whose sound has its roots ...

Starting from the second half of the 1950’s the flute began to take on the task of expressing with high, light, cheerful notes what the clarinet had expressed in the swing era in jazz recordings.

Despite this, European jazz still remains neglected, sometimes even by its own public, always ...
