about

First album as leader in piano trio, Received by the critics for its originality and versatility, earning the label Jazzit Likes! By JAZZIT magazine as one of the best albums of 2014.

"Its volatile energy is directed laterally fa more than cyclically. It, too could easily be identified as something coming from NYC as Italy...this is music that sticks to sunny tone and chipper disposition"
David Sumner - Bird is The Worm

"Mastronardi non è semplicemente virtuosistico, perché nelle sue dita risuonano tanto gli studi accademici quanto la viscerale passione per l'improvvisazione, con un garbato e attento uso della mano sinistra e note cristalline che sgorgano dalla destra"
Alceste Ayroldi - MUSICA JAZZ magazine

"Un lavoro Policromo, dedito a ricercate invenzioni linguistiche e strutturali"
Antonio Di Vita - JAZZIT magazine

"All’insegna della melodia questo esordio discografico del pianista e compositore Angelo Mastronardi affiancato dal contrabbassista Michele Maggi e dal batterista Walter Forestiere. I tre presentano nove brani di cui sei originals cui si aggiungono tre standard (....) Ed è proprio in queste tre rivisitazioni che il trio evidenzia un’assoluta originalità ad evidenziare una piena maturità espressiva ed esecutiva (.....) gli altri brani, frutto prevalentemente del solo Mastronardi, si fanno apprezzare sia per quella ricerca melodica cui si accennava in apertura sia per il senso della struttura sempre ben presente (....) e soprattutto un Mastronardi pianista di eccellente levatura (...) all’interno di un fraseggio spesso improvvisato è possibile individuare echi di musiche “altre” a dimostrare la profonda conoscenza della materia da parte di un artista cui è facile prevedere un futuro luminoso"
