Lorenzo De Finti Quartet: Mysterium Lunae

Read "Mysterium Lunae" reviewed by Geno Thackara

In programma troviamo sette tracce che percorrono diversi sentieri espressivi. Si va dalle sonorità soffuse e vagamente malinconiche di “If" a quelle più sostenute di “Critical Minds," ai momenti dove si riscontra una maggiore tensione ritmico-melodica, come nell'iniziale “Tokyo Nights," un brano nel quale sia la chitarra ...
