Daniele Tittarelli Quartet

The Profile

A quartet led by Daniele Tittarelli; the group's recorded work 'Jungle Trane' features a Coltrane-influenced sax voice, a solid rhythm section, and a modern take on traditional jazz standards and originals.

The review notes alto sax as the credited instrument for Tittarelli (with possible soprano overdubs), repertoire including standards like 'Bye Bye Blackbird' and 'Royal Garden Blues', and original tracks mentioned as 'Like Cafù' and 'Avec'. The recording is described as more comfortable in live settings, with some mixing and recording phase tweaks suggested.

Mr_Iko reviews the Daniele Tittarelli Quartet album 'Jungle Trane', noting a mature leader with clear Coltrane influence. The sax voice is prominent; ensemble mixing sometimes unbalanced. Strong rhythm section and modern be-bop approach; limited adventurous experimentation. Overall a pleasant, 'serene' album for fans of traditional jazz interpreted in a modern way.
