The first live album that the talented Mirabassi summons with full satisfaction. The dazzling beauty invites you to the end of euphoria. Giovanni Mirabassi's long-awaited third album is a live album by the trio. There is a lot of difference in the amount of experience, so it's just based on personal standards, but to be honest, I feel that I have come across one of the best masterpieces of a piano trio live album. I don't think there is any need for extra annotations, such as who the performer is or what the sound source is. Mirabassi's ability to consistently express his aesthetic sense in the form of a live performance is outstanding, and the tension that is painfully beautiful but not sentimental is wonderful. The songs played are basically original, so please pay attention to this point as well. The only exception is track 8, which decorated the opening of Avanti! but this is already "singing"! Even, if it isn't, the sweet melody will shine with a new life through the trio performance and live situation. It will be almost blissful for those who love music. Regardless of Mirabassi's popularity, I hope that this performance will reach as many listeners as possible. And Sawano can be proud that he was the only window to introduce Mirabassi to Japan. ~ Extract by Kitami Hiiragi, JazzSawano.com. [Translated from Japanese]
