This hot new CD from Italy features ten compositions by bassist,
Niccolò Faraci,
and one by pianist, Lorenzo Paesani. The music is original and versatile,
with generous solos from all five musicians. Bassist
Faraci
fuses jazz genres to create some mesmerizing moments, like the piano introduction
to I Remember Christopher Pike.
Notable tracks:
#4 – Love's Away from Earth – Composed by
Niccolò Faraci.
Esperti's trombone introduction engages the listener, as Paesani's
piano joins for a melancholy mood. The recording acoustics are strikingly clear,
with Blasi's and Manzi's percussion, plus
Faraci's
bass rhythm, adding texture and warmth.
#6 – The Day We Touched the Sky – Composed by
Lorenzo Paesani. Paesani's piano leads his own composition in eerie
slowness and sensitivity. This piece is at once soulful and playful with a mellifluous,
meandering melody.
#10 – Ufo, Where Are You? – Composed by
Niccolò Faraci.
The percussionists and bassist are busy, with
Faraci's
clavé-fused jazz, buoyantly enhanced by Esperti on trombone. This track would
be a sensational score for modern dance choreography.
#11 – The Trouble with Tribbles – Composed by
Niccolò Faraci.
Piano and drums lead in repetition to draw the listener on a wild Latin-laced ride.
Paesani finds fascinating sounds to catch the urban mood.
