Fabio Delvò & Fellows: The Crocodiles Embalsers
by Neri Pollastri
Nuova formazione per il sassofonista Fabio Delvò, un quartetto classico con il quale realizzare la sua musica ora tesa e geometrica, ora più libera e frammentata, sempre comunque inquieta e vibrante. La scelta dei compagni è mirata e felice: l'esperto Giancarlo Tossani, leader di numerosi progetti modernissimi, al pianoforte; Stefano Dallaporta, coinvolto in molti lavori in equilibrio tra jazz e contemporanea, al contrabbasso; Andrea Grillini, potente apportatore di ritmo ed energia, alla batteria. I risultati si sentono sin ...

by Neri Pollastri
Singolare e atipico lavoro di un musicista dalla notevole voce di contralto e dalle indubbie capacità improvvisative, Bella Mia è l'estremo omaggio alla madre Elena, strutturalmente costruito come un solo di sax -in parte accompagnato da un basso semiacustico -attorno al quale operano vari ospiti con i loro contributi. Il titolo del CD rimanda all'appellativo con il quale Fabio Delvò era solito chiamare la madre, “gran signora ed una zingara ribelle al contempo," mentre la particolarità del progetto ...

by Dave Wayne
I became aware of Fabio Delvo's music via his recordings with guitarist Jeff Platz. Platz has an ear for first-rate musicianship, and his recordings with lesser-known European musicians such as Delvo, Jan Klare, and Meinrad Kneer have been nothing short of revelatory. The title of Delvo's second album as a leader, Rastplatz, isn't a tribute to the Boston-based plectrist. Instead, it refers to the concept of a highway rest stop. Like a lot of musicians, Delvo travels ...

by Vincenzo Roggero
Il sassofonista Fabio Delvò ha già lasciato più di una interessante testimonianza della sua arte dapprima con la militanza nella Flight Band di Biagio Coppa successivamente con i suoi progetti da leader (il disco DNA del 2012), e co-leader (il recente Differential Equations con il chitarrista americano Jeff Platz). Questo Rastplatz -area di sosta lungo le autostrade austriache e tappa metaforica di un percorso artistico-si rivela come una riflessione, rielaborazione e convincente sintesi degli input stilistici ed emozionali che hanno ...
