Il trio propone un linguaggio musicale dal carattere crossover, in cui si intrecciano influenze jazzistiche, contemporanee ed eurocolte. Le nove composizioni originali che compongono questo lavoro si distinguono per la varietà delle atmosfere, ma al tempo stesso tracciano un percorso unitario e coerente, frutto di una ricerca melodica accurata e di un dialogo costante tra i tre strumenti.

Il trio propone un linguaggio musicale dal carattere crossover, in cui si intrecciano influenze jazzistiche, contemporanee ed eurocolte. Le nove composizioni originali che compongono questo lavoro si distinguono per la varietà delle atmosfere, ma al tempo stesso tracciano un percorso unitario e coerente, frutto di una ricerca melodica accurata e di un dialogo costante tra i tre strumenti.
La scrittura si caratterizza per l’uso di ritmi sospesi e rarefatti, modulazioni metriche trattate come veri elementi espressivi, armonie raffinate e una grande attenzione allo spazio sonoro, sia nei temi sia nelle improvvisazioni. In questo modo, la musica si svincola dai codici del jazz più canonico, pur mantenendo la vitalità e l’intensità dell’interplay.
L’equilibrio tra dimensione intellettuale ed emotiva è il nucleo di questa ricerca: una musica mai prevedibile, al tempo stesso intensa e leggera, capace di contemplare il presente con un suono raffinato e incisivo. È un’opera che rivela la formazione classica dei suoi autori e la trasfigura in un caleidoscopio di timbri, colori e suggestioni, dove rigore e libertà convivono in una comunicazione sempre autentica.
The trio presents a musical language with a strong crossover character, where jazz, contemporary, and European art music influences intertwine. The nine original compositions featured in this work stand out for the variety of their atmospheres, while at the same time tracing a unified and coherent path, the result of meticulous melodic exploration and a constant dialogue among the three instruments.
The writing is distinguished by suspended and rarefied rhythms, metric modulations treated as genuine expressive devices, refined harmonies, and a keen attention to sonic space—both in the themes and in the improvisations. In this way, the music transcends the codes of canonical jazz, while retaining the vitality and intensity of interplay.
At the core of this research lies a balance between intellectual depth and emotional resonance: a music that is never predictable, at once intense and weightless, capable of reflecting the present with a refined yet incisive sound. It is a work that reveals the classical background of its authors, transforming it into a kaleidoscope of timbres, colors, and impressions—where rigor and freedom coexist in an always authentic communication.
