**Eva Rosa - alto recorder, Enrico Rosa - guitar, Ferdinando Argenti -piano.
Recorded on October the 17th 2002 at:
Thin Ice Productions Recording Studios,
North Andover(Boston), Massachusetts , USA
This production is dedicated to the old friendship and joy of playing together
that unite the stories of two fine Italian musicians.
The first track: Sqwaqwaz-
(a nickname they used to call each other) - is minor blues jam on
a funky groove, much like the ones they used to jam on in 1977, playing together
for the first time: music full of energy and with no second thoughts. The second
track, Copenhagen, calls us back to the time in
which they met again in Denmark, in 1981; by then they had become more deeply
involved in jazz and both liked to create special atmospheres, this one in particular
inspired by the city of Copenhagen.
Track 3, Mondiale (world-wide), shows a way of
exploring music with a kind of more "global" approach they both were
searching for in the 80s; here Eva plays the first theme very lyrically on alto
recorder, while Enrico creates nice contrasts with his harmonic tessitura; then
Ferdinando takes over with a lovely solo interlude, and after Enrico's second
theme, the two friends continue, taking it into beautiful jazz phrasing and
a vigorous funky ending.
Three minutes blues, is a modal
blues from the early 80's, jamming, as blues should be. The poly-rhythmical
Dubbio (Doubt) was composed in 1981, when the two
friends wanted to produce their music in Denmark, but it took more then twenty
years before life finally gave them the opportunity in Boston, Massachusetts;
which brings us to the final composition on this recording, appropriately,
Boston; the tune was written on the way to the USA and it just speaks
for itself.
