Il nuovo album del pianista Massimo Giuseppe Bianchi conferma la sua straordinaria originalità nel ricercare e proporre “concept” di particolare interesse. In “The Art of Variation” Bianchi esplora la forma musicale della variazione attraverso la quale un compositore si rivolge per coniugare movimento e stasi, aspirando a trovare un asse di convergenza tra il dinamismo della creazione continua e il senso di riposo che emana dalla forma compiuta.

Momenta is the third solo album by New York bassist Massimo Biolcati. As a sideman, Massimo has had the fortune of playing with a large number of incredible musicians from disparate situations and backgrounds. In recent years an idea emerged about a Jazz fantasy football scenario of gathering different quartets from this great pool. What would it be to go into the studio with these bands with little to no rehearsal, and tackle a combination of originals and arrangements of standards and covers? Momenta is the realization of this idea and brings together music recorded through 2020 by several iterations of personnel led by Massimo.

Incontre is the first recording by Massimo Biolcati in about a decade explodes in the visceral growling and rumbling of his magnificent contrabass. His fierce pizzicato attack delivers all the rhythmic energy you could possibly extract from the bass violin and with his ability to delve deep into a vibrant palette of harmonic colours Mr Biolcati makes a wonderful musical statement throughout this wonderful repertoire and that too, while playing superbly on one of the most diabolically difficult instruments to really master.

At last it is possible to present to the public the first monographic recording of works by Giuseppe Unia, who in the eighteen-sixties could boast the title of “court pianist-composer to His Majesty the King of Italy”, like his better-known colleague Hans von B”ulow, court pianist to Ludwig ii of Bavaria and his friend Alfred Ja”ell, pianist to the King of Hannover. Giuseppe Antonio Unia is one of the many Italian musicians whom history – or, should we say, time – has separated from us with the thin veil of oblivion. Yet his more than two hundred publications for publishers such as Ricordi, Canti and Vismara testify to a considerable degree of success, and the dedications of his works show that his friends were important people, both from a social point of view and from an artistic one. The pianists Massimiliano G’enot and Andrea Vigna Taglianti here are proposing a careful selection of the piano works by Unia, fully reflecting the style and musical taste of Europe of his time, of which he was a profound connoisseur thanks to his numerous artistic experiences in Italy, Paris and Vienna.

Italian jazz pianist Massimiliano Coclite presents Strange People, a collection of deeply personal works which have evolved over time, the album’s concept coalescing during the recording process itself. The musicians collaborating on this release – adding saxophones, bass and drums to Coclite’s piano – share a similar vision of how the music should breathe, creating a soft, spaciousness of sound, drawing the listener into a musical journey of bewitching musical narratives. This is music of mystery, of strangers meeting, of enigmatic feelings hinted at but not always expressed; of introspection and intrigue. A haunting, crepuscular soundworld of seductive, dark-hued beauty.

“Life comes to waves, like the sea”, is said in the 1969 album” Life, friend, is the art of encounter”, by Vinícius de Moraes, Giuseppe Ungaretti and Sergio Endrigo. I was a child in Switzerland, a student in California and a drummer boy on cruise ships, almost always sailing north. In the moments of youth between America and the oceans I wrote these songs, then closed them in a bottle and launched them off. Stubborn, they returned to shore carried by a sea of nostalgia. So, a quarter of a century after thinking about them, I asked to play them to my friend Massimiliano Coclite, on a night when we were stuck at his house by a blizzard, having only his piano, my scores and the gentian. To record the songs I wanted to return to the north, to the Rainbow Studio in Oslo, silent to Massimiliano the emotions that had led me to write them to leave him full freedom to make them his own: a heart transplant that enriched them. In these tracks, I’m playing on a river in Switzerland with my friends, sending sailing boats into a gallery and then celebrating them at the exit. Or that I walk in Los Angeles, permeating the music that marked my adolescence. Or when, sleepless because of the Midnight Sun, I exorcise my doubts about the future by composing on a piano hoisted on the highest deck, while the ship plows the Sea among the fjords. Or while I fear, because beyond the columns of Hercules the stormy sea prevents us from reaching Madeira. If life is the art of encounter, then navigation is the Allegory of life. And friendship is the port that saves us from storms: My Midnight Sun.
