An in-edit record from Basso Valdambrini with a 'strange' line up that sees Angel Pocho Gatti on piano instead of Renato Sellani. This recording is to be considered a true and proper Italian Jazz 'pearl' as it is of the highest quality not just for the standards that have been interpreted in a very personal way but above all for the new songs that have been written by Valdambrini and Angel Pocho Gatti. The record starts off with two classics from Miles Davis and Gil Evans and right from the very first notes you can immediately sense that the various components of this quintet are all in an unrepeatable state of grace. The third song 'Uroni' (written by Valdambrini) makes me think that it was the fountain of inspiration and even generator of the song 'Metropoli' byGianni Ferrio (who has collaborated on numerous occasions with Valdambrini) but apart from this, the way in which the quintet wants to 'interpret' and 'recount' the songs in a continuative and unexpected way as this recording explores territories that usually remain unexplored by Basso Valdambrini (with experimental moments in both the solos as well as the song layouts). It is a modern and likeable type of jazz that is rich in lovely sounds and knowing intuitions that have to be heard with the utmost respect and concentration. A record that is testimony to the maturity and devastating personalities of the quintet concentrated into a oneness of sound that is typically Italian, reinforcing this affirmation are songs such as 'Conseguenza', 'Ricorda Me' and 'Inver Time', three signs of a certain musical evolution of Valdambrini, songs that make up another good motive of creating an interest in this record. For those who don't believe in Hard Bop but above all Californian Jazz this remains a very important document on which to meditate but if somebody still has a few doubts I would highly recommend listening to 'Stella By Starlight' as the sound from Gianni in this song really does light up the night sky and is second to none, this is also why we cannot speak of time because good music is timeless. In this Italian record there really is just Jazz and the only word that comes to mind when finishing off these cover notes is 'Masterpiece'.
