I have awaited the release. A somewhat treacherous album because it reveals, amidst the delicacy, a sort of veiled restlessness that never quite fades away. Hidden but not too much. I really don’t know if it’s appropriate to classify it as more or less beautiful than other works; after all, each one has its own significance. As far as I'm concerned, I find it absolutely beautiful.

Once there were cassette tapes, I kept them in the car, but one day someone broke the window and stole them all, along with the radio from under the seat... pieces of life... the car was in the police parking lot, at least I didn't have to go far to file the report :)

I like you like this :)

Well, as far as I know, they have played together several times, in Florence a couple of years ago and during Time in Jazz, but I don't remember any other duo recordings. Let me know about the listening (just a heads up, no refunds :), a haloa and a merci also to Wanderer :)

I’ve heard it a little but I’m not passionate about it yet, “Is a woman” was a nice album, I still can’t quite place this one, maybe also because I’m currently caught up with another CD... I’ll revisit it. Bye

well then it's his fault :)

good job

you got me :)) you "stole" my idea, I wanted to write a review in the style of a leaflet for a while, actually the idea came to me while listening to Les Claypool then I decided to draft a conventional text, but I was waiting for another record suited to such a style, but by now... ;))

We already talked about it in the twin review; the album, for me, has some weaknesses overall. "Hand in Hand" I found to be cloying, and "Les Boys" a filler. The good thing was that this album slightly changed the group's trajectory since, musically, Communiquè was a photocopy of the self-titled debut album. I would give it a three and a half. Haloa

Thank you for everyone’s contributions, from welcome reappearances (hi Symbad :) to memories of fleeting visits to the site, and from the origins of Splas(h) to the importance of the Egea. Two notes to add to the discussion. Regarding Italian jazz, I believe it’s essential to listen to the late Massimo Urbani and Luca Flores, while among the new generation, trombonist Gianluca Petrella seems interesting. I’ve seen Uri Caine in concert twice: first with a large ensemble performing Mahler, then solo at the piano (reviewing him here), and in both cases, he was incredible. He is certainly one of my favorite musicians. I have been fortunate to hear Paolo Fresu dozens of times with many different groups. The last time was this summer at "time in jazz," on the final night with Ascanio Celestini, who recited beautiful bitter tales about the themes of death, life, war, and humanity over the musical backdrop – very captivating. Despite their different backgrounds, I really appreciate that both Fresu and Caine continuously create important musical projects that embrace classical music (Caine) and/or theater, roots (Fresu). In short, for me, they are not just simple jazz musicians (whatever that term means today) but well-rounded artists. I’m quite enjoying Bollani's album, although I’ve listened to it little so far because I have too many CDs piled up, including one from Dave Douglas, which, as usual, does not disappoint. That's all, haloa :)
