Jazz
Jazz, en català: discos, concerts i figures del gènere, des dels segells històrics fins als projectes actuals que continuen ampliant el llenguatge de la improvisació. Tótum Revolútum Press hi dedica ressenyes i cobertura de concerts a Catalunya amb la mateixa atenció que al rock progressiu i el metal.
