they have traveled to Argentina and Brazil.Occasionally they have been supported by musicians like Nguyen Le.Dynamic Languages, Agile Methodologies, and All That Jazz.Iscriviti al Feed RSS o al Feed RSS Commenti.CD del 1998: Metamorfosi del Paolo Fresu Angel Quartet.XX edizione del festival Time in Jazz di Berchidda, dove ho avuto modo di apprezzarlo. |
