CHARL IE PARKER – NOW'S THE TIME
What a good Parker. Seventy years later I am still impressed by his melodic ease, by his ability to get into absurd melodic lines and come out not only without a scratch, but with a touch of magic. Truly one of those musicians, as I often say, who even in death, is ahead. This song, one of the most famous, anticipates the next arrival of rock'n'roll in its rhythm.
So long, Charlie
RYAN BINGHAM - NOBODY KNOWS MY TROUBLE
He looks like a wild yokel, has a drunken voice, a painful style, despite the lively music, he lacks the horse and then you feel like you're in the old West. Nostalgia for the American frontier dies, which conquered us as children and now that we have white hair, we continue to carry it with us. But we do it willingly, the soundtrack is always our friend - with the bass that thump-thump - and this is a beautiful day to ride through your memories.

IVAN GRAZIANI – GOODBYE LUGANO
Ivan Graziani is unique in his genre. Histrionic singer-songwriter, child's voice, high-pitched, inside-out, great guitarist, a handful of songs which, between the 70s and 80s, redefined the concept of singer-songwriter, for his so original and outside the box, musical or otherwise. This is a song full of feeling and very romantic, yet crooked, disorganized in terms of sounds and arrangement, it seems thrown away. Instead it is poetry.
Classy low-fi
