Riccardo Zegna is an Italian jazz pianist, an extraordinary soloist at the piano, who hates stardom and lives secluded in Loano, far from the clamor of city life. Here, he showcases a unique album comprised of piano, saxophones, accordion and cello. The ambience of this project, that he creates is one of tranquil, but very expressive chamber jazz music. He is joined by a very talented bunch of other noted Italian jazz musicians. Included in this grouping is the renowned Italian reed player Pietro Tonolo and scintillating accordionist Gil Goldstein. Also drawn into this magical mix is the spellbinding bowing of cellist Enrico Di Crosta. The songs are a succession of lyrical moments and improvisation. Together, they weave in and out, producing a beautiful and relaxing amalgam of fragments all penned by Riccardo. He draws on inspiration brought forth from maturity found in a search of exceptional sound mixes that are and will be truly pleasing to all music lovers, enjoy!
