Blues For Aida Clarinetist Giancarlo Nino Locatelli can be considered the Italian greatest Steve Lacy expert. Situations is a solo clarinet immersion through the music of the great American soprano sax player. Locatelli catches the essence of Lacy's music through a series of creative renditions of historical compositions such as "Morning Joy", "Blues For Aida", and "Trickles". A very important statement furtherly enhanced by Jason Weiss's liner notes, author of Steve Lacy: Conversations (2006). CD version includes two additional tracks. https://www.forcedexposure.com/Catalog/CDWEIN.003CD.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CDWEIN 004 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CDWEIN 005 ANDREA GROSSO BLEND 3 : LUBOK CD 07.2019 01. Prologue 02. Mendicus (Part 1) 03. Mendicus (Part 2) 04. Iwato 05. Ru-Bok 06. MC 07. SnailFail 08. SnailTale 09. Van Gundy's Retreat Andrea Grossi is a young and extremely talented double bass player and Blend 3 is his trio, featuring alto sax player Manuel Calliumi and guitarist Michele Bonifati. The group explores the diverse sound aspects of a trio format that, without a preconceived set, utilizes composition and improvisation as its only resources. This is some sort of chamber jazz where each sound controls its own development to remain suspended and constantly communicative. Nonetheless, sudden nervous and electric transgressions sometimes burst abruptly. https://www.forcedexposure.com/Catalog/CDWEIN.005CD.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CDWEIN 006 TILLI/TRAMONTANA DOWN AT THE DOCKS CD 07.2019 01. parte1 02. parte2 03. parte3 04. parte4 05. parte5 06. parte6 07. parte7 08. parte8 Trombonist Sebi Tramontana is mostly known as member of the Italian Instabile Orchestra and for his collaboration with European improv luminaries such as Joelle Leandre, Paul Lovens, and Carlos Zingaro. In Down At The Docks, Tramontana is in close company with cello player Luca Tilli. This is a strong free improv album. A genuine and profound dialogue for trombone and cello, full of allusions, rips, bursts of humor, and sudden gusts of poetry. https://www.forcedexposure.com/Catalog/CDWEIN.006CD.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CDWEIN 009 ANDREA GROSSI BLEND ORCH. : FOUR WINDS CD 11.2020 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CDWEIN 012 JOELLE LEANDRE/PASCAL CONTENT : AREA SISMICA CD 11.2020 =======================================================================================
