Tommaso, Giovanni
Walking In My Shadow
There is a familiar air among these tracks, an atmosphere of a reunion of old friends reuniting after many adventures. Perhaps because in part this is just how it is, a quartet made up of representatives of three different generations several times accomplices in different formations, reunited to give new life to some episodes from the great songbook of the author and promoter of the project, Giovanni Tommaso, protagonist of a thousand adventures in Italian and international jazz. The ingredients of this session are Rita Marcotulli's rich but also open to unexpected stories piano, Javier Girotto's lyrical and inflamed saxes and flutes, a versatile and inventive drummer like Alessandro Paternesi, and Tommaso's sumptuous walking double bass that directs and leads the music of yesteryear towards new forms and directions.
