Quartetto Moderno • Ecco!

“Quartetto Moderno” is going through Italian jazz scene foregoing a new feeling which implies a cool aesthetic so much connected with European culture. Actually, we cannot but remark that Italian jazz music issued between the late ‘50s throughout the ‘60s is gaining attention elsewhere but in Italy. Numbers and numbers of excellent recording – from Basso Valdambrini’s to Quartetto di Lucca’s, from Giorgio Azzolini’s to Eraldo Volontè’s – are now in great demand thanks to some characteristics which were probably not so easy to focus at the time: actually, they are the fruit of a musical research sustained by stylistic choices showing undoubtedly Italian roots; which is the right humus for Quartetto Moderno. Refined sounds, modal impulses combined with elaborate harmonic series and romantic melodies represent the natural, modern continuation of that artistic period and mood. The young age of the musicians is then the curious pretext for unexpected executions showing however creativity and style in perfect balance.

"Quartetto Moderno" atraviesa la escena del jazz italiano, renunciando a un nuevo sentimiento que implica una estética genial, tan conectada con la cultura europea. En realidad, no podemos dejar de señalar que la música de jazz italiana emitida entre finales de los años 50 a lo largo de los años 60 está ganando atención en otros lugares, pero en Italia. Los números y los números de excelentes grabaciones, desde Basso Valdambrini hasta Quartetto di Lucca, desde Giorgio Azzolini hasta Eraldo Volontè, son ahora muy solicitados gracias a algunas características que probablemente no eran tan fáciles de enfocar en ese momento: en realidad, son el fruto de una investigación musical sostenida por elecciones estilísticas que muestran, sin duda, raíces italianas; Cuál es el humus correcto para Quartetto Moderno. Los sonidos refinados, los impulsos modales combinados con elaboradas series armónicas y las melodías románticas representan la continuación natural y moderna de ese período artístico y estado de ánimo. La corta edad de los músicos es entonces el curioso pretexto para ejecuciones inesperadas que muestran, sin embargo, la creatividad y el estilo en perfecto equilibrio.
