Germani

In a time of isolation,music served as amemory for Germani to anchor himself in, a comforting reminder of all the congregations of folks the world so deeply missed and coveted. In this very act of sitting in barren rooms, remembering when they were crowded, the seeds of new songs were planted.

Debut album on trio for the young and talented bass player Dario Germani accompanied by excellent musicians: Stefano Preziosi on alto sax and Luigi Del Prete on drums, embellished by the soloist and the overwhelming personality of the prolific tenor saxophonist Max Ionata. Is a clear need of the trio to create a bridge between the various periods. As evidence of this the choice of Villa D‘ Este (residence of the Hungarian composer Franz Liszt) as location for the recording session. From a strictly musical point of view it denotes a clear interest in the compositions of the period Bebop (Crepuscule with Nellie, Little Willie Leaps; Bud on Bach) to Cool Jazz (Late Lament) and the blues form of Yusef Lateef (For Life). The three original songs have different characteristics but share the same melodic originality-expressive while remaining in traditional forms.
