Voices
Excellent work from a player we love more and more with each new album – Roberto Gatto, an artist we love equally both for his work as a leader, and on the drums! The set features a slightly larger group than usual – Gatto’s Lysergic Band, with alto from Gaetano Partipilo, tenor and soprano sax from Max Ionata, trombone from Roberto Rossi, and trumpet from Giovanni Falzone – all horn players who are used sparingly, in really wonderful ways to flesh out the music, and give it a great deal of individual personality! This is less an ensemble recording than a shifting set of voices that have found some great space to come together – working under Gatto’s strong guidance in these moody blends of darkness and light. Other players include Battista Lena on guitar and Alessandro Lanzoni on piano – and titles include “The Swinging Cats”, “Lysergic”, “Take The Dark Train”, “Deep”, “Fall”, and “Queen Porter March © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
ガットはイタリア出身のジャズ・ドラマーであり欧州ジャズ界の重鎮。このアルバムではオクテットを採用。実力派メンバーにより前作にも増して充実、言わばオールスター作品とも言えるもの。各トラックはタイトルどおりのニュアンスに富んだ作品。完成度が高い楽曲と優れた演奏の展開が印象的だった。
