NO ROOM FOR DOUBT

Featuring guitar impro-legend John Russell,

the acrobatic voice of Jean Michel Van Schouwburg,

fresh cello incursions of Andrea Serrapiglio,

grounding tbone-quakes of Angelo Contini and

sculpting soprano sax of Gianni Mimmo,

this stellar quintet will push your listening

in a sort of walk within intimate spaces, opened  by sudden blades of light.

Pure as the soundtrack of a Japanese theatre piece,

un-idiomatic threads develop an oblique narration.

Mysterious and magic, materic and lyrical, warm and permuting. 

No room for doubt, get lost in these magic five rooms!

Thollem McDonas_piano……….Nicola Guazzaloca_piano

A respectful match of two outstanding “comprovisers”
a deligthtful dance of fingers  shaping the sound.
Like a developing, living, plastic sculpture
that gently and slowly  changes, modifies its creators

Forgiving July is a multi-perspective investigation of sound.
Three different personalities offering different glances,
in a tri-dimensional approach to improvisation

EAR & NOW
E C L I P S E

Great and overhelming, ritual and evocative,
the Eclpise still retains the power of admonition,
of calling to re-consider our single perspectives
as parts of a pulsing complexity

LENOCI _ MAGLIOCCHI _ ZINGARO
S E R E N D I P I T Y

Like children with a precious thing in their hands, the trio dangerously manages the sound developments with a great sensitivity and brave directions.
The attention to quality and drama of what is taking shape under their playing seems to get back in a sort of reflection, a surprising discovery of an unespected beauty.
Recorded live at 2007 Bari jazz festival here is an excellent and vivid performance.
The free violin legend Carlos Zingaro along with the subtleness of Gianni Lenoci ‘s touch on and in the piano and the colourful energetic percussion of Marcello Magliocchi deliver a fresh, deep, sometimes joyous music.

ELECTRO.ACOUSTIC.SILENCE
CONO DI OMBRA E LUCE

EA Silence trio crosses dramatic soundscapes, outfiltering a nitid, spherical, dense matter.
Whispering shadows gently flowing in the hiding dark space of an ancient synagogue.
A morphing thunder pushed by acoustical swords,
generating long distance waves and slow, inexorable tides.
A stunning contemporary work deeply conceived to get perfect sounding ideas,
dancing with the space around.
