Description
Raf Ferrari - piano; Vito Stano - cello; Guerino Rondolone - double bass; Claudio Sbrolli - drums.
When producer and Losen Records' owner, Odd Gjelsnes, first heard this Italian quartet in Oslo, he had no doubts; "I just had to release music by this group and, luckily for me, they had already recorded this album on their own label to sell exclusively at their concerts. The album has never officially been available any other way until now. This is beautiful crossover music, mostly jazz but also with influences of classical and rock. It feels like the music is dancing on waves, both soft and intense. It swings like h.. at times!"
The track 'Microictus' typifies the range andextent of the band's compositional and performance acumen. Opening with cascading piano arpeggios, a driving theme, stated by cello, bass and piano, it evolves into a 2/4 section with Vito crossing the classical/jazz border with great originality. The piece further develops into a playful romp with delightful flights of swinging improvisation from Raf before arriving at a halfway point, which is both highly melodic and meditative. We're taken home with a display of instrumental pyrotechnics delivered with an omnipresent humour and musical awareness.
There is a lot to listen to in Quattro, and it bears repeated listening. The album never fails to fascinate and deserves special merit in the classification 'crossover'. Regardless of style or genre - this is both a musical feat and a musical feast! -
