Release Notes:
Research in Jazz along with solid live sessions,
that were frequent in the latest years, have lead
the Lo Greco brothers to feel the urge for
composing articulate pieces upon a rhythmic and
harmonic texture, which is typical of a quintet.
This way they aimed at creating modal and post
hard-bop sound atmospheres, with reference and
reverence to the golden years of quintets like
those of Miles Davis and John Coltrane; Wayne
Shorter and Freddie Hubbard, not forgetting the
drumming of Elvin Jones. Strong influences come
from those immense artists of the past who continue
to inspire the Lo Greco's compositions and
arrangements. The use of 3/4 and 6/8 shapes the
quintet's rhythmic, which is almost as dancing over
the passionate and soft pieces, whereas the medium
fast drive of 4/4 is the expression of the
musicians coming to terms with improvisations and
phrasing. In turn, they perform solos, whilst in
swing-bounce, slow compositions melodies entwine
with solos to involve musicians and listeners in
the same emotions. Homogeneity, a sound warm and
clear, deepness and space give to this album's
compositions a convincing artistic quality and
intensity.
