Product Information
»Combination 1« is the first album of Franco D'Andrea for Via Veneto Jazz, and is an important debut for the »Via Veneto Jazz« label. In the title you can imagine the will of the pianist to create a music that represents the best summary of the moment reached in his artistic development, while alluding to the lively »combination« created by the intervention of the trumpeter Steven Bernstein, who joins here with two historical teams D'Andrea, the New Quartet and Eleven.
It's a record that while listening to it, it gives us many happy surprises, as used to do the pianist during his long career; each song is »a succession of unexpected within which the presence of Steven Bernstein is designed as an adhesive and challenging«, as he likes to tell D'Andrea himself. »Combination 1« opens (and closes) with the formula in trio of Bernstein, Ayassot and the bright and torrential's communicative of Rolle on drums; other songs meander, following a spiral path through the quartet until the formation enlarged (with Bernstein present in all songs to stimulate, to deviate from the path - enthusiastically suggesting new ways - in dialogue with the leaders brightly revealing more passes his particular humor) to make a »pause« in the fifth song, the only one in which the musicians - here quintet - engage in solos.
The improvisational flow continues with peaks of intensity and complex structure, and then melt into the closing track, which incorporates - ranging - the structure of the opening track, to seal the entire work. »Combination 1« in our view it is mainly an album that returns fully Franco D'Andrea at his size as a musician, compared to the previous debut with »Eleven«, where the function of the leader was almost exclusively of »director«; the moments when the piano takes the floor, in the dialogue with partners, stand out for clarity inventive confirming inexhaustibility vein pianist Merano. »Combination 1« is not only a summary of the most significant recent experience of D'Andrea, but an album that is already clearly marked the new roads that contemporary jazz is pursuing.
