The idea of making music in 2024 and having to brand a label to it, genre wise, it has become sadly the normal, in the world of contemporary music.
Rather fortunately, though, every once in a while, there are still, out there, those very few musicians that still believe music is uncalculated art and, as such, it should be completely free-form and reflect exactly the personality and the artistic flair of said artists.

It's always a healthy sign, for the music industry, to see that illustrious artists that have done so well in their career still carry, within themselves, that sparkle that lights their fleur and their inspiration to keep on writing new and very interesting material.
This is pretty much the case of the British guitar Maestro Robin Trower, who, after a long hiatus from the Blues/Rock scenes, has made a remarkable return with a new album called Joyful Sky, which features one of the most talented and highly skilled singer/songwriter around, Sari Schorr.

There was a certain autumn feeling, last night, in the air temperature, that one can breathe in the UK capital, with fairly mild daily temperatures and pockets of humidity here and there, replaced, as the light of the day fades out, by a breezy and slightly chilled wind.
One thing that remained constant, though, last night in London, was the rising temperature in the venue where the Italian Guitar Virtuoso Matteo Mancuso performed in, for one night only for the UK crowds, showcasing his instrumental debut album called The Journey, a record where the 26-years-old from Sicily displayed bags of talent as a guitar player in a very eclectic fashion, by mixing layers of Jazz Fusion, Rock and World Music with remarkable class and originality.
