Gianmarco Ferri: On The Scene
by Neil Duggan
It is an interesting idea to pair a young, gifted guitarist just starting their career with a well-known jazz pianist. The guitarist in question is Italian Gianmarco Ferri. Following auditions, he won consecutive scholarships to attend Berklee College of Music, where he graduated with honours in 2022. Pianist David Kikoski is another graduate of Berklee. He ...
Federico Chiarofonte: Underbrush
by Neil Duggan
Underbrush is the first project led by drummer and composer Federico Chiarofonte. The title is appropriate as it alludes to the undergrowth from which biological forms emerge, as well as a secure space where concepts can flourish. Those natural world elements are also reflected in many of the track titles, all eight of which were composed ...
Alberto Forino: Tiny Toys
by Giuseppe Segala
Non è facile dire qualcosa di nuovo nell'ambito del trio con pianoforte. È un sentiero indagato a fondo nel jazz, con esiti di altissima intensità artistica, dialogica, umana, paragonabile a quanto è stato fatto con il quartetto d'archi nella musica accademica occidentale. Certo, all'interno di questa formula, nella grande quantità non mancano le proposte rese anemiche ...
Justin Salisbury: Evergreen
by Neil Duggan
Where do you start if you want to play at Carnegie Hall? Growing up in the small town of Clatskanie, Oregon, is probably not the obvious choice. Pianist Justin Salisbury has certainly put in the miles, playing in France, Egypt, China, Cambodia, Italy and North America as well as Carnegie Hall. He was aided in that ...
Franco D'Andrea, Franco Tonani, Bruno Tommaso.: Modern Art Trio
by Neil Duggan
The line-up of the Modern Art Trio was finalised in 1969 when bassist Bruno Tommaso joined pianist Franco DAndrea and drummer Franco Tonani. They stayed together until 1972, releasing one album, Modern Art Trio (Vedette Records, 1970). The album became a landmark recording. It was a best seller in Italy and influential throughout Europe. Following the ...
Antonello Losacco: Worlds Beyond
by Neil Duggan
Jazz albums featuring the seven-string electric bass are fairly unusual. Antonello Losacco makes a strong case that this situation should change, by making full use of the wide harmonic and melodic possibilities of the instrument on his album, Worlds Beyond . He was a co-designer of the bass he uses, having undertaken technical research into the ...
Francesco Patti, Andrea Domenici, Giuseppe Cucchiara, Andrea Niccolai: A Sound in Common
by Neil Duggan
Album titles can sometimes be mystifying, enigmatic, strange, or in this case, perfectly apt. A Sound In Common links four Italian musicians who share a passion for composing and playing their own brand of swinging contemporary jazz, springing from roots firmly planted in grounded post-bop language. This album, featuring mainly original tunes, is their ...
Franco D'Andrea, Franco Tonani, Bruno Tommaso: Modern Art Trio
by Giuseppe Segala
Fin dal 1971, anno di pubblicazione dell'unico disco che ne documenta l'attività, Modern Art Trio ha fatto parlare tanto di sé. E quel lavoro non cessa di parlare a sua volta all'ascoltatore, riattizzando da punti di vista sempre nuovi l'originaria passione. D'altra parte, è lo stesso Franco D'Andrea a sottolineare l'importanza del Modern Art Trio: “Da ...
