Basso, Luciano

To Tell

Luciano Basso, pianist and composer, is a musician firmly linked to the world of Italian prog thanks to his first LPs 'Voci' (1976), 'Cogli Il Giorno' (1978) and 'Frammenti Tonali' (1979). The first two have been reissued by AMS Records, who also released his two most recent albums ('Free Fly,' 2007 and 'Open,' 2016). Today the collaboration with Luciano is finally renewed with this latest work 'To Tell,' a collection of original compositions for piano, violin and flute. Unlike other much more prolific colleagues, Luciano Basso follows a long and scrupulous compositional method, pondering every single note and melody until the final result is fully satisfactory: "Every detail is direct communication, since these compositions are, in a sense, games of lights and shadows, emotions and reflections of complex contrapuntal songwriting. An agreement, the sound of a breath, a melody, a rhythmic variation govern the various changes; this is how each element becomes part of a complex structure and the different variations lead to a single and large movement." In this new chapter of his musical journey, Luciano is accompanied by Arturo Bertin on the 4-hand piano pieces, by Denis Garzotto on flute and by Jacopo Pisani on violin. Another little gem whose compositions, seemingly simple but meticulously crafted, highlight a 'progressive' approach to the writing process that has always distinguished this unique artist's work.
