Angelo Contini | Gianni Mimmo | Stefano Pastor | Forgiving July | Amirani Records

live at Novarajazz 08

Edition number eighteen of Amirani records is Live at Novarajazz 08 is an acoustic trio recorded at Novara jazz festival ‘08 in Italy.

The output is a strange chamber music with sudden strokes of controlled (even not) violence. The relationship finds its way among oblique narrations, with lyrical and dramatic moments, and intriguing harmonic textures . In fact the woodwind-string-brass trio is a very unusual interesting tone melange and the improvisation strategies are here enahanced with subtleness and intensity. Tensive-relaxed ! sincere-cuttin edge ! sculpting light atmospheres ! Contemporary avant-jazz / experimental background and extended instrumental skills give a rich nuance palette, a multi-perspective idea of music and vivid listening experience.
