Francesca Keller: Beyond

Un paio di standard, a sottolineare un certo legame con la storia del jazz. Composizioni originali che invece cercano soluzioni armoniche leggermente più evolute, pur tenendosi nel solco della tradizione del jazz vocale.

La Keller e il sassofonista Araxi Karnusian hanno una scrittura che risponde molto bene ai canoni del genere, ed arricchiscono le loro composizioni con una vaga spruzzata di accenti pop. La voce della Keller, sia pur non memorabile, è funzionale agli orizzonti espressivi delle composizioni.

Musica al confine tra il piano-bar ed il puro intrattenimento. Un album gradevole, sottofondo per una cena tra amici, o per un bicchiere di cognac davanti al caminetto.
