Alberto Pinton Relentless: Allt Större Klarhet
by Alberto Bazzurro
Sa molto di Jimmy Giuffre la suite in tre movimenti che dà il titolo--occupandone il cuore--a questo nuovo, notevole lavoro del polistrumentista veneziano Alberto Pinton, ormai da tempo immemorabile di stanza a Stoccolma, dove ha di fatto costruito la sua intera carriera, forte di una buona quindicina di album a proprio nome, tendenzialmente, come si dice in questi casi, uno meglio dell'altro.

Sono passati vent'anni dall'uscita di Clear Now, primo disco a firma di Alberto Pinton, che ci fece conoscere il musicista di Porto Marghera, residente in Svezia dalla metà degli anni Ottanta; nel frattempo il polistrumentista di strada ne ha fatta parecchia ed è sempre più apprezzato sia nel Nordeuropa (tra i tanti, Anders Jormin lo ha voluto con sé per il suo Poems for Orchestra), sia in Italia (clicca qui per leggere l'intervista fattagli per noi tre anni fa dal ...

Or maybe an explanation is that this trio effort in May of 2020 was recorded during the global pandemic, when touring musicians were granted time for contemplation and introspection. In any case, All The Difference is an extremely thoughtful and, can we say, sympathetic recording? The trio consists of drummer Konrad Agnas and bassist Vilhelm ...
