Bonaccorso is one of the "elder statesmen" in modern Italian Jazz circles. In Italian, "viaggiare" can have any number of meanings from traveling, to journey, or to tour. Inherent in the term is the idea that the flow of movement is the focal point, it is the journey itself that counts, not necessarily getting to the destination. Traveling with friends makes the process all that more enjoyable and also helps the time pass more pleasurably. He is joined by old and new traveling companions: Roberto Taufic: Guitar, Fabrizio Bosso: Trumpet and Javier Girotto: Soprano Sax, Quena and Moseño. The music on this CD is different because it reflects past jazz traditions while, at the same time, incorporating influences from today’s World Music. The music swings but the time is less metronomic and more inferred through the use of Latin Jazz rhythms.
‘Viaggiando’ consists of 14 original compositions that propel listeners head-long on an incredible journey, subtly shifting from one continent to another, while drifting through emotions linked by the common thread of the "voyage”. A deep introspection pervades Rosario Bonaccorso’s music, portraying a soul-searching autobiography that reveals his passions and inspirations. There are also a few tracks where the musician sings for the first time: Storto, My Faith, Mon Frere. Once again, he has chosen his travelling companions with acute sensitivity and awareness. At his side, Fabrizio Bosso sustains the creative flow, as he intuitively chisels evocative melodic fragments with his trumpet, while Argentinian saxophonist Javier Girotto and Brazilian guitarist Roberto Taufic blend in seamlessly into the fabric, further flavouring this journey with the cultural sensitivity deriving from their homelands." ~ Extract from Jazz Profiles.
