Dave Bass: The Trio Vol. 2

The Trio Vol. 2 è un atto d'amore nei confronti del piano trio jazzistico, riproposto in chiave mainstream contemporanea. Leader di una delle formazioni più classiche per un pianista, Dave Bass propone qui una consolidata formula che travalica tempo e mode senza inutili virtuosismi. È davvero ammirevole la sua raffinatezza di fraseggio, che fa da volano a una superba lezione di swing e musicalità.

La forza di questo CD risiede anche nel dinamico interplay di un ragguardevole trio (Kerry Kashiwagi, contrabbasso, e Scott Gordon batteria) allargato in qualche traccia grazie al fantasioso apporto del chitarrista Barry Finnerty.

I musicisti brillano per qualità individuali e intesa collettiva. Verve e buon gusto fanno il resto in questo dialogo paritetico in souplesse, nella rilettura di affascinanti standard della tradizione jazzistica.
