Roberto Badoglio: Re-Evaluation-Time
by Glenn Astarita
Twenty-five year old Italian bassist Roberto Badoglio conveys strikingly impressive chops on this jazz-fusion based studio date, featuring venerable keyboardist Steve Hunt.

By PicoI find that much of jazz is taking someone else's tune and make it into something new.

for a little harmonic development to go with the technical
dazzling, Badoglio put in the work toward that end on
several of his originals from his debut album, issued just
last month.
