David Fontana

"La chiara fontana" narra l'arte di un'epoca, la forza dei sensi e l'esultanza del corpo. Luglio 1873: il grande pittore realista Gustave Courbet - autore della famigerata "Origine del mondo" al centro di mille scandali - inizia il suo esilio in Svizzera. È stato tra i protagonisti dell'irripetibile stagione della Comune di Parigi e ha contribuito all'abbattimento della colonna Vendôme, simbolo del più tronfio imperialismo. Condannato a risarcire i danni e a scontare sei mesi di galera in una Francia insanguinata dalla reazione, Courbet ha scelto la fuga, ossia la libertà. E proprio come «la conseguenza di una libertà» David Bosc racconta gli ultimi quattro anni di vita di questo colosso della pittura, una libertà che è «dovere di governare se stessi» e coincide con le gioie, pure e contagiose, dell'arte e della Natura.

How to express emotion through music from which words are absent? This album attempts to give an answer to this question. Through works by Italian composers from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, the two members of Seicento Stravagante, David Brutti and Nicola Lamon, demonstrate the extravagant styles of early baroque music. During the decades surrounding 1600, the dominance of the human voice and of texts came to be replaced by the unfettered imagination of the composer/instrumentalists that allowed instruments to ‘speak’ on their own, and not only support a sung text.

Grits, Beans and Greens: The Lost Fontana Studio Sessions 1969 is truly a "lost" album that's a jazz holy grail on par with Tubby Hayes' 1968 albums Mexican Green and 100% Proof. Cut with a smoking new band with whom he was trying to re-establish himself as a viable musician after two years of health problems, arrests, and other mishaps, this amounts to his last great album. The session reels containing it sat in boxes until 2014 when Decca/Universal hired high-end vinyl specialists Gearbox Studios to master the sessions for the first time and deliver new lacquers. While the album was assembled from multiple takes, Hayes' diary designated the final lineup's keepers.
