Woody Herman Shaw II (December 24, 1944 – May 10, 1989) (United States) was a stunningly brilliant jazz trumpeter and composer, one of the last contributors to the language of modern jazz - who fiercely and yet successfully broadened the technical and harmonic capacity of his instrument. [ Website: http://www.WoodyShaw.com ] Shaw grew up in Newark, New Jersey, and began his study of music at the age of 11. Early in his career he was influenced by Clifford Brown, Fats Navarro, Booker Little, Dizzy Gillespie (whom Woody Jr's father had gone to high school with), Freddie Hubbard, amongst others, yet...

Il neonato quartetto (denominato “Kernel Panic”, in ossequio al dominio dell’istintualità sulla sfera del logico-binario-informatico) entra in sala prove quasi immediatamente: ne escono con due pezzi arrangiati, montati e registrati...

The only album of this british group is one of the most interesting and less known items in the progressive rock catalogue. It is hard to believe that such a fantastic piece of music, released at the beggining of 1969, had to wait so long to be transfered onto compact disc.

The result of this blend is an aural feast: tasty guitar work, nice flutes and saxophones, occasional hammond organ and swinging, powerful rhythm section. Woody Kern liked...
