Even when music is notated relatively precisely, as in music, a performer must make many decisions because the notation does not specify all elements of the music. The process of deciding how to perform music that has been previously composed and notated is called “interpretation”. Interpretations of the same piece of music by different performers can be very different in terms of the tempos chosen, the style of playing or singing, or the phrasing of the melodies. Composers and songwriters who perform their own music interpret their songs in the same way as those who perform the music of others. The standard choices and techniques available at a particular time and place are referred to as performance practice, while interpretation generally refers to the individual choices of a performer.

Virtuosy proven and reputed, it is not on this repertoire that these two cadors found themselves here. With this album, Stefano Di Battista and Sylvain Luc revisit the music of films by sharing their inspiration generated by the original versions. On some titles, the exposed themes remain clearly identifiable, in others, they are suggested, by small keys, some notes which allow to recognize a work in a few seconds. And the magic operates. Sylvain and Stefano had fun as kids who are forbidden anything, the pleasure they took is sincere and palpable, it reflects on the whole album on which we also find Daniele Sorrentino on bass and the double bass and Pierre-François Dufour on drums and cello.

The new album by saxophonist Stefano Di Battista is an authentic tribute to Ennio Morricone’s film music.Di Battista plays with the master’s themes as if they were magical matter, substance of that special and mysterious area of music that almost inexplicably fills our soul. The choice in some cases falls on marginal themes, or rather less famous or forgotten films, such as Veruschka or what you did to Solange, to dig better into a repertoire still to be discovered (Morricone has worked on the music of more than five hundred films). Then of course there is the enjoyment of pure and listen to the themes that we know very well that they become perfect jazz standards, such as Metti una sera a cena, swinging and ironic, or The good the bad and the ugly, who reveals himself as a duel of improvisations, with the sax, who takes the part of that brief hint of notes that at the beginning he was inspired by the verse of the coyote, before splitting up in the emotion of the purest of the Theme of Deborah There was a time in America, which is one of the most beautiful inventions of Morricone. Not to mention the delicate reinterpretation of the mission, with an elegant passage from the original oboe to the soprano sax, until the surprise of an unpublished, a piece entitled Flora, which the Maestro gave to Di Battista.
