Ok, it took me a while to review this cd and I’ve an explanation for it, I’ve been so delighted by the very first listening I tried to calm down a bit to understand if it was a great album or just a passing infatuation (and it still had to pass the test of the following listenings). After several listenings I’ve no doubt, this’ not just one of the best releases I’ve heard on Amiran,i but this’ probably one of the best improvisational releases I’ve heard in a long time. This gem features Marcello Magliocchi on percussions, legend Carlos Zingaro on violin and Gianni Lenoci on piano, the recording is great and the trio is driven by pure inspiration and its constantly flirting with dramatic atmospheres. I imagine you may have heard sentences like these many times but if you think that having a improvisational-identity, a sound and being varied at the same time is not that great deal: tell me what should we look for in a recording like this!?. As you happen with many works like that the equipe-work makes it really special, but beside the team-playing and the incredibile numeber of complementary solutions they manage to create in every episode, the three distinc identity of the players turned it into a real jewel. Free-contemporary (vaguely-post-jazz) impro-music where our three stooges play collectively but also singularly waiting in order to leave their soloist role to somebody else, every member adopts several techniques and changes role for the sake of the global result and what a great result!. Carlos Zingaro is great, but Lenoci’s touch and solutions on and inside the body of the piano are more than inspired, to that you’ve to add Magliocchi is one of the most patient and non-intrusive percussionists ever heard on a recording like this. While playing with abstraction and sounding contemporary classical they fight each other, here they follow this high registers there, they go for loudness then they leave the scene to some suspended scales. While painting some really interiorized portraits and keeping their good eye open on a sort of melody, they also work with instrumental dialogues but leaving those scholastic-solutions back home and above all they never forget their performance/recording/tracklist has a global meaning and it’s not a collection of scattered dialogues. This’ not exactly easy, wishy-washy impro-music, but if you’re down with improvisational trios and music in general, this cd shows with a piano, a violin and a set of percussions three talented musicians can still make you taste the magic of instant-compositions.
