Description
My second album. It's been recorded live in the studio.
It features John Swana on E.V.I. and Trumpet(he recently recorded on John Scofield's latest album),
Jim Ridl on Acoustic & Electric Piano(he's known for his work with Pat Martino, Dave Liebman, and his own projects), Darryl Hall on Acoustic & Electric Bass(he won the Thelonius Monk International Bass Competition in 1995, and he's currently with the Gerry Allen Trio).
Also vocalist Vania Taylor on one cut, and Ativana N'Bacchio on Percussions on two tracks.
There are 3 tunes played by the acoustic trio setting, and 3 tunes done by the electric trio.
The other 4 tunes are played in a quartet setting with the E.V.I.
The most intense songs are: Confusion by Darryl Hall(the melody is in 9/4), Where The World Ends by Massimo(check out John's solo on E.V.I.), Nowhere In Sight by Darryl Hall(Funk/Fusion), Urban Serenade Pt.1. by Darryl Hall.
Track 3, Where Space & Time Begin by Massimo, has a very mysterious and haunting melody. The tune at first seems like a ballad, but it builds up to a drum solo.
Angel world, And Yet There Is Snow & The Light Keeper all by Massimo, have all a Latin flavor with a hint of Fusion.
Urban Serenade Pt.2 by Darryl Hall is a ballad with some vocals, but it gets funkier during the E.Piano solo.
Last, A Touch You Wont Feel by Massimo, is a 3/4 jazz piece which
features Swana on Trumpet.
Very raw sounding project. A lot of interactive improvisation.
If you need to be stimulated rather then play it safe, than this one is for you.
