Salvatore Tranchini - Faces (2004)

A contemporary Italian hard bop masterpiece that has been difficult to obtain for over a year is finally back in stock for a limited time! Wonderful melodies are played out in rapid succession. The leader is Salvatore Tranchini, a drummer from Naples, but this work also features Fabrizio Bosso's superb solo on trumpet in a variety of tunes. First, the fast tempo (1) features sharp and melodic phrases backed by superb technique. The ballad (2) features muted play full of poetry. The melancholy lyrical solo in (3) with a Spanish/Mediterranean atmosphere is sexy! "Clifford's Memories" is performed by a piano trio alone, interpreted with a Euro-aesthetic feeling, and is also a gem. ~ ventoazul.shop-pro.jp. [Translated from Japanese]
