After his second recording in quartet “NEW THINGS SAME WORDS” Angelo Mastronardi return to his Ideal setting, the piano trio, along with a new rhythm section, Rogers Anning (double bass) and Carmelo Miceli (drums).
“ROUGH LINE” reveals already in the title, a decisive and uncompromising imprint of the author. His consolidated passion for rhythmic research and odd times is now blended with neo-soul influences, fast swing times and a more massive use of fender rhodes and, in some cases, synthesizers.
His melodic language now combines risk and spontaneity with harmonious research and a strong post-bop background. The solos show a virtuosity in the language, until now not brought to light by the pianist.
The recording includes 6 original compositions written by the italian pianist, the american popular song “All Things You Are” (J.Kern/O. Hammerstein II) and the standard “Oleo” (S. Rollins).
"With "Rough Line" (GleAM Records 2019) Angelo Mastronardi, his third album as a leader, demonstrates an original
and mature piano style and a solid compositional sensitivity, capable of bringing together tradition and
experimentation in a balanced way" (JAZZIT Magazine - F. Caruso)
