Anamorphosis Fausto Romitelli

Ictus is providing a platform in this CD for Italy’s most surprising composer: Fausto Romitelli (1963-2004). It is a manifesto, a work which expresses his convictions. Although ‘contemporary music’ as we knew it (from Boulez to Lachenmann) is a closed chapter, this does not mean that from now on we should content ourselves with a peaceful return to order, to neo-classical evenly-spaced colonnades.

Fausto Papetti was an Italian alto saxophone player. His recordings, sometimes under the pseudonym "Fausto Danieli", are also characterized by album art with sexy women posing half naked. His works have been widely well-known all over the world for the last six decades. He has played the majority of most famous world Hits and pop & jazz songs of 20th century, in 45 years of his career…

Fifth cd for Abeat, by Fausto Ferraiuolo, with an emblematic title: "the gift". Underlying the title is the meeting, in wich giving and receiving are two aspects of the same gesture. The gesture is the spark for a relationship to begin. Souls meet playing music as during the lifetime. So " il dono" is sharing. Thus, each original composition sounds like a way to repay a debt of gratitude to its illustrious traveling companions: Aldo Vigorito ( on the doublebass) with whom Ferraiuolo boasts a historic collaboration, and Jeff Ballard ( on drums) , probably one of the most requested drummers on the world stage. Jeff Ballard, thanks to his militancy in the trio of Brad Meldhau, is co-creator of a style that has determined one of the most interesting recent stylistic evolutions in the jazzscene. Great partners, great interplay, wonderful compositions for a "manifesto" of generosity.
