Description

This second album was born from the desire to write songs that were more understandable and easier to listen to. (This is my personal wish and hope, for those who purchase this album...)

Unlike 10/5 (my first solo album, also produced by Lorenzo Vella's BirdBox Records label), I decided to dedicate myself as much as possible to compositions that were close to the typical pieces of the American jazz standards tradition.

Hence the desire to seek immediate melodic lines and essentially regular forms, all the while trying to avoid falling into banality, helping myself through harmonic explorations, seeking non-obvious solutions.

From this need arose the need to have a soloist in the ensemble who was always present on all the recorded songs, with the exception of "Come Saprei".

Lorenzo Simoni, on alto saxophone, fully captured the atmosphere and sounds I wanted for this record.

The rhythm section made up of Marco Micheli on double bass and Simone Brilli on drums is always a sure thing.
