Fabio Giachino - Limitless

2021 release

In a new solo record for CAM JAZZ, Fabio Giachino extends the lyrical language he set out in his 2019 CD At The Edges Of The Horizon. Working without a group this time, but again making use of studio techniques to deepen his sound, the pianist delivers nine new compositions that all seem to touch on states of consciousness and perception, a linked approach similar to that of his earlier record.

Limitless again sees him exploring the idea of composition as a space that can be entered and explored without reference to outside realities. Giachino’s playing is profoundly involving and has the capacity to suspend time, even while it holds on to core values like swing, harmonic and melodic movement. Limitless moves him into the front rank of European improvising pianists. With the departure of Chick Corea and the effective retirement of Keith Jarrett, the piano literature needs new champions and Giachino is a leading contender.
