Franco Ambrosetti: Sweet Caress
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il rapporto fra jazz e archi è sempre stato piuttosto tormentato. A ottant'anni suonati (è nato nel dicembre 1941 e l'incisione data dicembre 2023, quindi 82 giusti giusti) ci casca anche un musicista glorioso come Franco Ambrosetti, che confeziona un album che verrebbe quasi da definire “pomicioso" (fin dal titolo), a dispetto dei musicisti coinvolti nella ...
I Dischi del 2024 secondo Ludovico Granvassu
by Ludovico Granvassu
Spesso molti articoli sulle “migliori uscite dell'anno" iniziano con una premessa quasi apologetica ("questi non sono necessariamente 'i migliori album dell'anno,' ma 'i miei preferiti';" “è tutto soggettivo;" “domani avrei scelto titoli diversi;" “ho potuto selezionare solo dieci album," ecc.)? Queste dichiarazioni sembrano riflettere il disagio del redattore, costretto a riassumere un vasto ecosistema artistico selezionando ...

Franco Ambrosetti: Sweet Caress
Back in 2022, I reviewed Nora, a beautiful album by Swiss flugelhornist Franco Ambrosetti backed by strings lushly arranged by Alan Broadbent (go here). Now, Franco and Alan have released a second album, Sweet Caress (Enja), recorded at the end of 2023. It features that same sterling group of musicians: Franco Ambrosetti (flhrn), Alan Broadbent (p,arr,cond), ...
Frank Ambrosetti & Strings: Sweet Caress
by Dan McClenaghan
Swiss flugelhornist/trumpeter Franco Ambrosetti teamed with pianist/arranger Alan Broadbent in 2022 for the exquisite Nora (Enja Records), a top-shelf orchestral jazz album with a core group of mainstream all-stars. Listening back to the history of the 'jazz with strings' sub-genre--the shot across the bow, Charlie Parker With Strings (Verve, 1950), followed in short order by Chet ...
