Jacopo Ferrazza: Fantásia

by Chris M. Slawecki
June 15, 2022

Jacopo Ferrazza's imaginative Fantásia opens luminous landscapes for his emotive basslines and Alessandra Diodati's dreamy vocals (in her recording debut) to float and wander over, around, and through. Ferrazza's bass and synthesizers lead an elastic quintet through a suite of soft compositions that reflect his romantic sound, his classical (piano) training, his jazz sense of curiosity and adventure, and perhaps even a poet's or painter's eye for pastel colors and harmony. Deep moaning tones from cellist Livia de Romanis flood ...

by Angelo Leonardi
August 10, 2020

Dopo aver esordito con Septet (AlfaMusic 2012) e confermato il suo valore nel successivo Seasons (AlfaMusic 2015), il medio organico di Franco e Dino Piana trova una nuova identità ampliando l'organico ai cinque archi della B.i.m. Orchestra. Le suggestioni cameristiche che impregnano qualche brano non mutano l'estetica di fondo ma al contrario esaltano quei caratteri di raffinata eleganza propri della scrittura di Franco Piana. Il figlio del grande trombonista—oggi splendido novantenne—è autore delle composizioni (eccetto “Sketch of ...
