Francesco Chiapperini: Trasmigration
by Neri Pollastri
Riprendendo lo spirito con cui nel 2022, con We3, aveva omaggiato non agiograficamente The Trio di John Surman, adesso Francesco Chiapperini, proprio come il sassofonista inglese, amplia il proprio organico e va a rileggere la lezione di Conflagration, storico album del 1971. La formazione è meno ampia di quella messa assieme allora da Surman, ma è pur sempre un nonetto che--per intensità, organizzazione dei suoni, respiro dei temi--suona come un'orchestra ben più ampia. E, grazie anche alla registrazione dal vivo ...

by Neri Pollastri
L'avvio all'unisono dell'ampio ensemble del primo brano, attraversato da un brulicare di variazioni, mostra subito il marchio di fabbrica del proprio autore; e già al termine della traccia è chiaro che Daniele Cavallanti, qui all'ennesima e sempre opportuna ristrutturazione dei suoi gruppi, ha di nuovo colto nel segno: Sounds of Hope, messo in scena da una formazione di tredici elementi denominata Milano Contemporary Art Ensemble, è ancora una volta un disco eccellente. Ma il prosieguo del lavoro si ...

by Glenn Astarita
More good news from the shores of Italy! As tenor saxophonist Daniele Cavallanti and his quartet engages in a blustery approach, awash with vigorous interplay amid the leader’s corpulent tone. The band wastes little time getting to the point during the opener titled, “Minutes.” Here, bassist Giovanni Maier’s dynamic, finger-snapping ostinatos serve as the foundation for Cavallanti, and trumpeter Luca Calabrese’s broiling, lyrically rich unison choruses. They also intertwine elements of 60’s “Blue Note Records,” type fare with investigative, free-flowing ...
