(Harper Collins, 2019) At last, I am holding the object in my hands and at this moment, I want to take my time to appreciate it, slowly turning the pages. This new book by Christophe Boulmé must be fully appreciated, as it is the result of an important part of his experience, with its text […]
Queen : The Studio Experience, Montreux Montreux, August 2018 The city of Montreux is a place that I really like but up to then, I had only enjoyed it during its famous Jazz festival in July. The atmosphere would seem different when visiting the Swiss city in August, but this was the context […]
Dexter Wansel’s appearance at the New Morning venue in Paris was the last concert I attended before the Covid crisis.
