Chris Crocco: The Chris Crocco Fluid Trio

by AAJ Italy Staff
March 27, 2008

Insolito questo trio chitarra/sax/batteria. Insolito come strumentazione - non sono numerosissime simili formazioni nella discografia jazzistica - ma insolito soprattutto nel risultato. Perché nonostante i tre musicisti gravitino, a vari livelli di osservanza, nell’ambito dell’ortodossia, The Chris Crocco Fluid Trio è ben lontano dall’essere un disco incanalato in un mainstream aggiornato ma prevedibile.
