Description
The Paolo Porta Trio has worked together for over 20 years, 'Beginner's State of Mind' marks the trio's first release on SLAM Productions and it fits well into SLAM's policy of preserving important developments in contemporary jazz. When musicians have opportunity to work together over longer periods the group perception and commonality of ideas is evident in the music; Porta's trio is no exception.
The trio represents something different among the modern jazz Italian community. These three authentic musicians with a past studded with important collaborations, show strong foundations in the jazz idiom and a deep knowledge of the tradition of this essential format, while living in the present and leaping over the boundaries of genres. Instead of the soloist-backed-by-the-rhythm-section type of hierarchy, everyone plays an equal role and each one's individual ideas are mutually elaborated to convey a coherent sound. The trio's music flows in a dynamic synthesis of rhythms, lines and textures, in an intense, outright, impressive balance of composition and improvisation.
Personnel: Paolo Porta (tenor saxophone), Alessandro Maiorino (bass), Alessandro Minetto (drums)
