Paolo Alderighi: Piano Solo
I tredici brani in scaletta incarnano il suo amore per gli standard e, in genere, per la musica del Novecento jazzistico. Si tratta di una serie di rivisitazioni di brani che appartengono al jazz di New Orleans, all'American Songbook, al repertorio delle Big Band fino a quello di Django Reinhardt, del quale è rivista "Manoir de mes rêves". Le atmosfere sono quelle del migliore mainstream, e Alderighi si mantiene spesso in atmosfere di pacatezza espressiva, dove le melodie risulatano lineari e rispettose delle trame originali dei brani. Tendenza evidente in tracce come "My Romance" o nella conclusiva "Embraceable You," dove viene a galla l'impostazione classica di Alderighi. Non mancano tuttavia passaggi giocati su modi più sostenuti, come "The Kid from Red Bank," dal repertorio di Count Basie.
