Tim Trevor Briscoe - Nicola Guazzaloca - Szilárd Mezei: Underflow

Il collaudato duo dell'inglese Tim Trevor-Briscoe e del nostro Nicola Guazzaloca ha collaborato per la prima volta nel 2009 col violinista Szilárd Mezei, prima in Ungheria e poco dopo in Serbia, al Kanjiza Jazz Festival.

La speciale affinità espressiva ha portato a questo disco, registrato in Italia nell'aprile 2010 sia in studio che dal vivo.

Tutti i brani sono liberamente improvvisati e si snodano spinti da una continua esplorazione che prende spunto da input tematici e da un visionario ma lucidissimo interplay: ne risulta una musica intransigente e dalla singolare forza magnetica, sospesa tra episodi di astratto camerismo e aggrovigliate matasse sonore.

Anche se di tanto in tanto emerge con chiarezza uno strumento guida, il collettivo si caratterizza per il dialogo intenso e paritario che si dipana in un sapiente alternarsi di tensioni e rilasci, condensazioni e rarefazioni.
