Import CD – RRJ 1031 – Neuroplastic Groove – Porta Palace Collective

The return of the Porta Palace Collective on Rudi Records. Following their great debut album, realized in cooperation with Giancarlo Schiaffini, the ensemble from Turin is back as an open form group augmented by Natsuki Tamura on trumpet and pianist Satoko Fuji, the American drummer Jimmy Weinstein and the already mentioned Giancarlo Schiaffini on trombone. The album makes another step toward the core of a jazz oriented Creative Music, and if compared to the previous work, it shows an even more extrovert and inclusive approach. Here is a wide soundscape based on long collective improvisations that gradually develop towards some great scores and themes. The core of the group consists of Johnny Lapio (trumpet), Lilly Santon (vocal), Giuseppe Ricupero (sax) Lino Mei (Fender Rhodes) and Gianmaria Ferrario (double bass).
