In ‘Something Bluesy and More’, released on 24 May, Franco D’Andrea revisits the piano trio alongside Roberto Gatto, one of Europe’s most prestigious drummers, and the young and highly regarded double bass player Gabriele Evangelista.
The idea behind the meeting is to bring into the trio formula the rhythmic and intervallic inventions and freedom typical of D’Andrea’s music, and to confront a repertoire little frequented by this typeof formation: from blues to early jazz, via Ellington and Coltrane, to pure invention. D’Andrea retrieves from the origins of jazz a bluesy feeling that permeates the poetics of the trio and gives life to free, joyful and extremely communicative music.
Lineup: Franco D’Andrea-pianoforte Gabriele Evangelista–contrabbasso Roberto Gatto-batteria
