William Gagliardi Quintet: Memories of Tomorrow
Memories of Tomorrow è il terzo disco che Gagliardi licenzia con questo quintetto e l’empatia tra i musicisti, il piacere di suonare una musica fresca e stimolante si avvertono chiaramente lungo le sei tracce dell’incisione. La musica per l’appunto, libera, gioiosa, inventiva, ironica, rispettosa del passato (Memories), ma proiettata nel futuro (Tomorrow).
Alla libera improvvisazione figlia del free storico di “Coup d’è-tat follies“, segue il be-bop sbilenco di “Let’s Play” e di “Cosmic Monster“, con la metrica continuamente spezzata e i fiati che sconvolgono le regole degli unisono. La title-track mostra il lato più spirituale della musica di Gagliardi, con un gran lavoro timbrico della chitarra di Wessel, “The Key to the Gates“ ha dolcezza e sensualità da vendere, mentre il free-funk di “The Question Unanswered“ chiude gioiosamente un album privo di intellettualismi, ruspante e da ascoltare con rilassata attenzione.
