    Description

    The pianist and trio leader's new album features tributes to various jazz pianist-composers, as well as pioneers of the various styles that have shaped the genre's evolution. It's a celebration of the jazz piano genre, which encompasses a vast array of styles and possibilities that only a multipurpose instrument like the piano can offer.

    The project unfolds through a series of pieces that mostly address the compositional progression, aimed at revealing the artistic flair of the pianist-composers (from the 1940s to the 1960s and beyond), with the exception of one track, "Naima" by J. Coltrane, by the saxophone giant, to whom, given the composer's greatness, the pianist couldn't help but pay homage. On this album, and with reference to this last track, the pianist wanted to emphasize the indispensible nature of such an artist who marked the end of the bop period and the transition to free jazz, as well as the merit of infusing a mystical vision into his compositions. It's no coincidence that the trio's leader opens the track with a profound and contemplative interplay between double bass and Rhodes piano.

    The album “To Giants” contains the solo piano piece “Remembering Sante's Way,” an improvised fantasia dedicated to an illustrious pianist on the Italian jazz scene, Sante Palumbo. The piece aims to evoke the Italian pianist's impressionistic, jazzy sound. Sante Palumbo, a great pianist and composer of the 1960s and 1970s, boasts numerous collaborations with some of the greatest names in history, including Astor Piazzolla and Ron Carter, to whom the young pianist and protagonist of this album is very close, both for educational and other reasons. Among the tracks on the same album, you can hear pieces with a more distinctive mainstream sound as well as pieces featuring revisited themes in a more original version, reinterpreted with a new jazz sound.

    The tracks dedicated to B. Powell and T. Monk, such as "Giants' Melodies" (a piece based on the melodies of "Un Poco Loco – Evidence," including a brief reference to Bill Evans's "Very Early") and J. Zawinul's "Mercy Mercy Mercy," reflect this. Of particular interest is the track "Giants' Conversation," a medley of famous compositions in which the great jazz pioneers can be heard conversing with each other using their own melodies and gradually transitioning to a different sound. In it, in fact, you can hear Duke Ellington with Dancers in Love (a stride piano piece, composed in 1944 as a tribute to Fats Waller), Passion Dance by McCoy Tyner (a piece recorded in 1967 in the modal-quartal jazz genre), T. Monk with Well you Needn't (a famous piece from 1944, in the bebop style) and finally a brief reference to Rapsody in Blue by G. Gershwin, Rockin' Rhythm by D. Ellington, and quotes from Blue Seven by Sonny Rollins and So What by Mil Davis. The final touch of this “Intro” track is the song “Watch it” by H. Hancock, an artist very dear to the trio's leader.

    The album contains two tracks that pay homage to two of the trio leader's favourites and inspirations for his piano playing: African Flower by D. Ellington (1962), in an original sound characterised by the use of a percussive instrument such as the tar, and Arabesque by Ahmad Jamal (a pianist very dear to him for the orchestral conception of his piano playing and use of space). A piece with the pianist's expressive and creative peculiarities.

    Sadly, DNF
    Format: Kindle
    I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

    Fae Courts with High Intrigue
    Format: Kindle
    This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

    Slow, sorry but good
    Format: Kindle
    This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

    Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
    Format: Kindle
    Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

    Interesting
    Format: Kindle
    This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
