    Description

    The pianist and trio leader's new album features tributes to various jazz pianist-composers, as well as pioneers of the various styles that have shaped the genre's evolution. It's a celebration of the jazz piano genre, which encompasses a vast array of styles and possibilities that only a multipurpose instrument like the piano can offer.

    The project unfolds through a series of pieces that mostly address the compositional progression, aimed at revealing the artistic flair of the pianist-composers (from the 1940s to the 1960s and beyond), with the exception of one track, "Naima" by J. Coltrane, by the saxophone giant, to whom, given the composer's greatness, the pianist couldn't help but pay homage. On this album, and with reference to this last track, the pianist wanted to emphasize the indispensible nature of such an artist who marked the end of the bop period and the transition to free jazz, as well as the merit of infusing a mystical vision into his compositions. It's no coincidence that the trio's leader opens the track with a profound and contemplative interplay between double bass and Rhodes piano.

    The album “To Giants” contains the solo piano piece “Remembering Sante's Way,” an improvised fantasia dedicated to an illustrious pianist on the Italian jazz scene, Sante Palumbo. The piece aims to evoke the Italian pianist's impressionistic, jazzy sound. Sante Palumbo, a great pianist and composer of the 1960s and 1970s, boasts numerous collaborations with some of the greatest names in history, including Astor Piazzolla and Ron Carter, to whom the young pianist and protagonist of this album is very close, both for educational and other reasons. Among the tracks on the same album, you can hear pieces with a more distinctive mainstream sound as well as pieces featuring revisited themes in a more original version, reinterpreted with a new jazz sound.

    The tracks dedicated to B. Powell and T. Monk, such as "Giants' Melodies" (a piece based on the melodies of "Un Poco Loco – Evidence," including a brief reference to Bill Evans's "Very Early") and J. Zawinul's "Mercy Mercy Mercy," reflect this. Of particular interest is the track "Giants' Conversation," a medley of famous compositions in which the great jazz pioneers can be heard conversing with each other using their own melodies and gradually transitioning to a different sound. In it, in fact, you can hear Duke Ellington with Dancers in Love (a stride piano piece, composed in 1944 as a tribute to Fats Waller), Passion Dance by McCoy Tyner (a piece recorded in 1967 in the modal-quartal jazz genre), T. Monk with Well you Needn't (a famous piece from 1944, in the bebop style) and finally a brief reference to Rapsody in Blue by G. Gershwin, Rockin' Rhythm by D. Ellington, and quotes from Blue Seven by Sonny Rollins and So What by Mil Davis. The final touch of this “Intro” track is the song “Watch it” by H. Hancock, an artist very dear to the trio's leader.

    The album contains two tracks that pay homage to two of the trio leader's favourites and inspirations for his piano playing: African Flower by D. Ellington (1962), in an original sound characterised by the use of a percussive instrument such as the tar, and Arabesque by Ahmad Jamal (a pianist very dear to him for the orchestral conception of his piano playing and use of space). A piece with the pianist's expressive and creative peculiarities.

    The only labels I buy again and again.
    Size: 1.97'' x 1.18''-White, Color: White
    The only labels I use for my thermal printer. Print quality is always perfect. The quality of the sticker is great! Super easy to use just drop them in. Easy to store and organize. Not the cheapest but they don’t stick to my products when removing but they stay on nicely until removal is needed.

    The Hobby Crafter Review: Stick well, clear print, durable, accurate alignment
    See below the way I choose the star rating. First I want to say that I am still mad, that the NIIMBOT printer only accepts original NIIMBOT labels, which come at a VERY limited choice, are pricey, and often not even available on Amazon. That being said, those labels work very well, the print is crisp, even the small letters (see picture, the small letters are 1/16"). The ink does not come off, even when rubbed with greasy fingers. I am not able to remove them easily, the adhesion is very good. All prints are centered, even when printing multiple. They align very well in the printer. Which is to be expected at that price! I will buy them again once they are available, because I have no choice, but also because the quality is very good. Star Rating: ***** Exceeds expectations and is better than thought **** Meets expectations and would buy again ***Some minor flaws but ok for the price, would not buy again ** Terrible and I only kept it when the price is right or because of the lack of better alternative *Returned the item because it doesn't work as advertised, is broken, or quality is extremely poor

    20 X 40mm vial labels
    Size: 1.6“ X 0.8"-White, Color: White
    Works perfectly. Make sure when you’re buying labels that you don’t buy M1/M2 labels unless you have the M1/M2. You need direct transfer unless you have the M series with the fancy color cartridges etc. The “fancy” labels won’t work on normal thermal printers, they need the color cartridges to show up. Anyway this is the 20mm X 40mm size. Perfect for vials. Works in many other non-branded machines.
