Cinque: Catch A Corner
by Dave Wayne
With legendary drummer Steve Gadd and organist Joey DeFrancesco in the lineup, and a clutch of Canada's top session men rounding out the personnel on Catch A Corner, Cinque gives a tip of the hat to the CTI label and its particular style of relaxed--but not smooth--jazz-funk. Olivia Cardinali's vivid cover photograph seems reminiscent of Pete Turner's work for Creed Taylor's '70s-era label. Memories of pianists Bob James and Richard Tee are effortlessly conjured by the dual keyboard work of ...

Cinque, Featuring Joey Defrancesco and Steve Gadd - Catch a Corner (2011)
Source:
Something Else!
The trio of respected Canadian sidemen who complete the Cinque band, though nowhere near as famous as Joey DeFrancesco and Steve Gadd, end up providing the structure and verve for this celebration of good-time soul jazz. You'll come in listening for the familiar rhythms of Cinque's celebrated organist and drummer, but go away deeply impressed with Peter Cardinali, John Johnson and Robi Botos. They don't just hold their own; they help define Catch a Corner. DeFrancesco, of course, has carried ...

Zerocinquefilm presents a new short film by the young director Alessandro Daquino. The film, called “Sono sempre stata Chiara" (I have always been clear/Clare) deals with its theme in a modern and fascinating way.
