Review on “Pinocchio Magazine”

Review from March 25, 2023, on the Irish portal Pinocchio Magazine.


The sound range of the trio develops a playful concept of space and time. Cyclic, rhythmic and melodic cells are mixed with wide sound expansion, from which an horizontal conception of the band emerges, where each musical instrument is always the protagonist of the song performed: a floating sound landscape (or soundscape), evanescent, sometimes intimate or abstract but still rich and multifaceted, through an aesthetic research of contemporary European jazz avant-gardes, which has its roots in the tradition of the Scandinavian countries. An essential but at the same time colourful language, a continuous search for refined and original solutions timbre, themes with a strong melodic mark, improvisation and total freedom of expression are the essential features of the trio. Yugen represents an invite to listen, both to others and to themselves, is an invitation to make an individual experience became collective. In line with the musical style, the choice of the trio is to perform exclusively in museums, cultural associations, festival, historical or art places. In some tracks of the album, the trio is joined by Valerio Daniele (guitar), Giorgio Distante (trumpet) and Francesco Massaro (electronica).
