Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola was packed for tonight's second set, with Italian
Jazz Days drawing the New York Italian community and jazz fans in the Tri-State
area. It was a huge treat to have three artists from Italy, and one from the US,
Joey DeFrancesco, a renowned Hammond B3 organist.
Rosario Giuliani
was on alto sax, Lucio Ferrara on guitar, and
Nicola Angelucci
on drums. The set opened with "Bye Bye Blackbird", and DeFrancesco's rambunctious
keyboard took the crowd on a whirl. Giuliani picked up the theme on alto
sax, with Ferrara on his heels, as his breezy guitar joined in energetic
harmony. Soon DeFrancesco and Giuliani struck up an organ-sax conversation,
with atonal effects. "Footprints" by
Wayne
Shorter arrived like a speeding train, with Ferrara's guitar racing in vibrant
urgency. Blues went wild, and Angelucci was unstoppable on a magnetic drum
riff.
Giuliani's "Dream House" opened with the composer on alto sax,
and numerous sax riffs followed in mixed melodic motifs. The finale was lively,
featuring DeFrancesco's "Estate", led by his spirited Hammond B3 keyboard.
Each phrase added more momentum, while Angelucci's drums took center stage. This
was a great night at Dizzy's.
