Description
Bruno Heinen piano, Michele Tacchi bass, Riccardo Chiaberta drums.
The Italians already know: Kino Trio brings together 3 players well matched in poise. Bruno Heinen's roots in impressionistic classical music are complemented by Michele Tacchi's lyrical fretless sound and the wide dynamic range of Riccardo Chiaberta's sensitive approach to the drums.
Musical partners over many years in different combinations, including Bruno and Riccardo in Reem Kelani's group, Kino Trio came together over compositions with a unified written language stemming from the European jazz tradition, and as the band name makes clear, a shared fascination with cinema. The compositions from all members were written with each other in mind, and the album takes its title from Michele Tacchi's composition, inspired by Wim Wenders "Wings of Desire"... released in Italy as Il Cielo Sopra Berlino.
Il Cielo Sopra Berlino, released on Babel 26 April, was developed through Kino Trio touring dates and studio time in Italy. First laid down over 2 days in November 2016 at Artesuono Recording Studio, the Trio returned to Italy to work on the mix, when concert dates have concentrated theirs minds and their collective whereabouts.
UK audiences already know Bruno Heinen from his 6 previous releases on Babel, his crossing of the classical and jazz worlds, and as "a cool-headed and resourceful improviser with a beguiling touch" - London Jazz News
