Co Streiff - Qattara - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Emanuele Delucchi (b. 1987) lives and works in Milan. He studied with Canzio Bucciarelli (Genoa), Riccardo Risaliti (Imola) and Davide Cabassi (Bozen), graduating in piano and composition. He gives solo recitals, with orchestra and in chamber music formation in Italy and abroad; he composes and lectures about the history of music. Emanuele Delucchi is one of the most remarkable pianists of his generation. He has the technique and style to master the most difficult pieces with easy, logic and elegance. He made a name with his recordings for Piano Classics of the insanely difficult Chopin Studies by Godowsky, played on a 1906 Steinway D, of which the Gramophone wrote InchIt's palette of warm colors remained intact but gained a more incisive attack, allowing Delucchi's voicing and extraordinary digital facility to be heard at it's best...

He recently recorded the 24 Preludes and Fugues by Carl Czerny. This new recording presents Delucchi as a transcriber and composer. Of the Three transcriptions of Carlo Gesualdo he says InchGesualdo's music has always fascinated me, for it's modernity and originality in the panorama of late Renaissance music. The transcriptions are very faithful to the original, reducing the doubling to a minimum. The writing of the five voices, which is unmanageable on the keyboard, is achieved by keeping two parameters constant the pitch and the duration of the notes (which means that the overall effect is identical, although the physiognomy of the individual voices is different).

What cements the relationship of Swiss saxophonist Co Streiff and American trumpeter Russ Johnson, is a shared belief that being progressive doesn't automatically require abandoning melody or groove. Their experience is the best in cross-cultural exchange. Streiff and Johnson coalesce for a wonderful sound, almost Vintage Blue Note before jumping decades to sound as modern as anything else out there. Most groups are either rife with nostalgia or, conversely, exchange method for memorability. The best do both, and Streiff and Johnson have accomplished that with their first effort. Album Tracks 1. Short Outbreak [Live] 2. In Circles [Live] 3. Five Dark Days [Live] 4. The Loper [Live] 5. Tomorrow Dance [Live] 6. Farks Lark [Live] 7. Confession

The musical friendship between Swiss saxophonist Co Streiff and American trumpeter Russ Johnson, which has developed through various musical collaborations, dates back to 2004. Their experiences-Streiff as the bandleader of various groups and through her work with pianist Irène Schweizer; Johnson, who has played with just about everyone in New York-are the best aspects of intercultural exchange. InchIn 2012 the quartet released it's stellar debut In Circles, capturing a shared aesthetic for keyboard-less quartets stretching back to Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker, and especially Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry. Several annual European tours followed for several years, followed by a long hiatus. The musicians reunited in 2019, with Gerry Hemingway stepping on drums, and as heard on Oracle, recorded on different stops along the group's 2023 tour, the rejiggered line-up had hit it's strideInch, writes Peter Margasak in the liner notes. For such musical heights to be possible, a common ground is needed-and here, that basis has been strengthened by more than 20 years of continuous collaboration. Album Tracks 1. Horizontal Heartburn 2. Smithy Street 3. In Circles - Yellow Crane 4. Saguache 5. Remember Little Feather 6. Oracle
