The next video that i am posting, from those that have been sent with me to share, is one highlighting an album release from 18 months ago. It's a little delayed, but better late than never. Normally I wouldn't post a video that is an advertisement for an album, however something about this one caught my ear and so I am passing it on.
The following is pasted directly from the YouTube video description;
"Unfolding Routes" is the new album by Italian saxophonist and composer Gianni Bardaro, in collaboration with drummer and co-leader Pierluigi Villani. The album showcase original compositions by both leaders exploring the difficult TRIO constellation and ranging influences from post-bop, avant garde, contemporary jazz, as well as South American rhythms.
UNFOLDING ROUTES was recorded in Copenhagen, featuring musicians of different nationality such as Andreas Hatholt from Denmark on bass/contrabbas and Yohan Ramon from Cuba, on percussions.
- "Even though it's another lesson in concision, we can't help but anticipate more great music, from Gianni Bardaro and Pierluigi Villani -- individually and especially together. In the meantime, enjoy your pudding while it lasts, knowing though there's surely more from where this came!" - By Laurence Donohue-Greene, Managing Editor. The New York City Jazz Record.
- "Bardaro, with one exception, shies away from unnecessary saxophone embellishments such as double tones, squeals and squawks; he's simply too good a creator on his own to have to do so. His duo with Villani ("Gateway") ends the session on a rhythmic fifteenth round with the drummer's frantic kit work—and shrewdly, like that infinite horizon, without melodic resolution...Rest assured, Unfolding Routes is an acquired aural taste. However, it's a robust ride of intelligence, beauty and energy. Hitchhiking is recommended."
