Alessandro Altarocca 4tet: Helios
Peraltro, Altarocca ha una scrittura felice, e l'introduzione di composizioni altrui (gli standard, appunto) ci sembra più un atto dovuto, un tributo ai grandi maestri nel momento in cui si realizza il proprio album, che non un'autentica esigenza espressiva. Non a caso, il CD raggiunge i suoi momenti migliori nelle composizioni originali eseguite in quartetto, dove si mette in evidenza un Tino Tracanna particolarmente ispirato.
