Editor's Note
“The Cat with the hat” is Blogfoolk’s April top album. Set aside the raids of the Captain Capitone's crew, Daniele Sepe celebrates the Argentine saxophonist Gato Barbieri producing an exciting and passionate tribute to his musical art. The Neapolitan saxophonist and composer has chosen eleven tracks, which he imagined Gato could have interpreted with his unmistakable style by bringing out the link between jazz and traditional music. In the interview, Sepe tells the reasons behind a work dedicated to an artist he considers a model of sound and motivation. The journey to Italy continues first with “Opus Minus / La Macina pietra”, an anthological album which traces the fifty years of the career of Gastone Pietrucci and La Macina, then with “Emilia D’Hercole”, a new CD by the Decanter Collective. The world music columns lead us, first of all, to the discovery of “Le Cri du Cyclope” by the percussionist Wassim Halal. Not to be missed two recent releases published by the Turkish label Kalan: “Öz/ Essence” by the Coşkun Karademir Quartet and the eponymous album by the Tarab quartet (Kudsi Erguner, Derya Türkan, Murat Aydemir and Zohar Fresco). Finally, it’s up to “Displays” released by the Desert Session collective, born between Capo di Leuca and the Tindouf refugee camps. From our shelf, we present “Gaber-Brel. Dialogue” by Micaela Bonavia, recently published by Arcana. We then propose the contribution of Paolo Mercurio, entitled: “Milano, musica ‘glocale’ and the international experience of the Amici della Scala”. Following is the review of “In Fa” by Riccardo Sinigaglia and Trio Cavalazzi. Closing “Blogfoolk” # 402 is the shot by Valerio Corzani starring the master of zarb Bijan Chemirani.
