about

Following the releases of Kepos (2014 El Gallo Rojo Records) and Elpis (2020 Skirl Records), the trio featuring Zeno De Rossi on drums, Francesco Bigoni on tenor sax and clarinet and Giorgio Pacorig on piano is ready to release its third album This Is Always, out on April 22nd, 2022 on Hora Records.

Recorded live at the legendary Jazz Club Ferrara (aka Torrione), the trio renews a 10-year long fellowship. It literally becomes a collective; the fact should not be surprising, given the equal nature of the ensemble. Its horizons are expanded by replacing the Fender Rhodes with the grand piano; this totally acoustic territory allows the band to create sonic landscapes that defy categorization.

The record, in addition to the title track – a popular song by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon, composed in 1946 for the musical Three Little Girls in Blue – features tributes to the likes of Salvatore Bonafede and Paul Motian. One of the salient moments of the session is American Landscapes, a four-movement suite where contemporary music and improvisation blend in an evocative way. The suite also includes a previously unreleased composition by Bill Frisell, written during the pandemic and generously granted to the trio.

about

ZENO DE ROSSI Ferrara, Italy

...the estimable Zeno De Rossi on drums, who moved from subtlest gradations of pulsation to kickass powerhouse tub-thumper in the blink of a millisecond (the snail crawls across the edge of the razor blade).
- Gary Lucas, NYC.
