L’uguaglianza, la fine delle guerre, la solidarietà, il rispetto per l’ambiente non sono soltanto i temi di cui ogni giorno, e con sempre più forza, si impara ora a discutere, ma anche ciò in cui Edoardo Bennato crede con forza e i valori che da sempre, con le sue canzoni, porta avanti. La sua discografia, infatti, può essere letta come un’antologia di spirito civico e un manuale di teoria e pratica della rivoluzione: attraverso il filtro giocoso e ironico delle sue storie, i suoi singoli più famosi.

The Everly Brothers—aka Don and Phil to fans with an intimate appreciation for them—seemed to exist almost as an apparition. Emerging within the formative era for young Baby Boomers during the blandly regimented '50s, they were a ubiquitous presence, clad in snug suits and skinny ties, hair neatly Brylcreemed, never raising their voices when they sang. The two prim-looking country boys with dark, curiously penetrating eyes and perfectly merged, honey-dipped harmonies, were oddly but comfortably settled as sentimental, soothing, sometimes lovelorn voices of a still-uncharted cultural turf.

Story
1959 saw Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the other members of Miles's sextet come together to record the seminal jazz album of all time Kind of Blue. 3 Shades of Blue is a magnificent blended biography on the meandering paths which led Miles, Coltrane and Evans to the mountaintop of 1959 and the aftermath. It's a book about music, business, race, addiction and the cities that gave jazz its home; from New York and LA to Philadelphia, Chicago and Kansas City. Kaplan meditates on creativity and the great forebears of this golden age who would take the music down strange new paths.
