“It's a project that involves great names in Italian jazz – Dino Piana on trombone, Gianni Coscia on accordion (we're talking about musicians with great and long experience) who, together with Enzo Pietropaoli on double bass and Fulvio Sigurtà on trumpet – tackle a reinterpretation of Frescobaldi's musical climate with a concept that's been buzzing around in my head for some time: I've always thought that Baroque and early music had a great freshness and a particular immediacy in the performance phase at the time. In Frescobaldi's time there wasn't the rigor with which, from the post-war period to today, musical groups approached these scores; there was a bit more freedom, and a bizarre similarity with jazz came to mind, that is, with the freedom that jazz expresses by its very nature. Analyzing the original scores with the musicians and also the places that the great composers of the past chose for their performances, a great freedom from an expressive point of view is very evident. What better occasion, then, than to see great jazz musicians enter into harmony with this world and bring out their vision of Frescobaldi? It's a record worth listening to, very, very intriguing." [Giulio Cesare Ricci]
