È una lezione che Matteo Mosolo impara forse proprio da Mingus, che nella sua discografia, insieme al jazz a lui contemporaneo e a una reinterpretazione del blues primigenio, aveva anticipato molti temi e sonorità della musica black di là da venire. Composizioni brevi e orecchiabili sono la carta vincente di Isolation, che permette di apprezzare la rotondità e il timbro unico del contrabbasso senza perdersi in fraseggi convoluti e tecnicismi. rockit.it
