Marcus Vergette: The Marsyas Suite
Brani di breve durata che creano un mood particolare, abbozzano immagini, alimentano visioni, altri più lunghi e strutturati contigui ai canoni del blues o alle cadenze di una ballad, concorrono a disegnare un mosaico dai tasselli assai diversificati ma omogeneo nel colpo d'occhio e nell'ascolto d'insieme. L'operazione di Vergette di far convivere musica colta e jazz nella loro più ampia e diversificata accezione non è nuovola third stream music di Gunther Schuller ne è l'esempio più ricorrentema in The Marsyas Suite è risolta con leggerezza e grazia, con approccio minimalista e da una prospettiva che non disdegna una salutare dose di humor.
