Giovanni Guidi Trio: City of Broken Dreams
by Dan McClenaghan
Italian pianist Giovanni Guidi's ECM Records leader debut, City of Broken Dreams, fits in as a very fine addition to the label's ongoing introduction of a new guard of the art of the piano trio, European style. Recent entries into that elite club include Benedikt Jahnel's Equilibrium (2012), Stefano Battaglia's The River of Anyder (2011), and ...

Giovanni Guidi Trio: City of Broken Dreams
by John Kelman
It seemed inevitable. After working with Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava on 2013's Michael Jackson tribute, Rava on the Dance Floor, and 2011's more intimate Tribe, it should come as no surprise that pianist Giovanni Guidi--the only connecting thread between those two records (other than, of course, Rava)--should find himself with an opportunity to make his own ...
Giovanni Guidi Trio: City of Broken Dreams
by AAJ Italy Staff
Giovanni Guidi è un musicista in continua crescita. È una sensazione che si avverte netta, disco dopo disco, anche perché combina uno spiccato senso autocritico con una forte voglia di progredire.

Francesco Turrisi: Songs of Experience
by Ian Patterson
Pianist Francesco Turrisi's first two albums as leader, the classically influenced jazz of Si Dolce e il Tormento (Diatribe Recordings, 2009) and the more brooding, improvised Fotografia (Diatribe Recordings, 2011) were united by Turrisi's mostly spare voice as much as they were by the folk, classical and jazz threads from which he draws inspiration. Here, Turrisi ...

Enrico Rava: To Be Free or Not To Be Free
by Ian Patterson
Freedom, it could be argued, is most deeply understood by those who have been somehow constrained against their will, or who have been prisoners of their own skewed vision of what it means to be free. Trumpeter Enrico Rava knows the meaning of musical freedom; he was part of the free-jazz scene of the 1960s and ...
