The history of Italian jazz in its Milanese origins constitute the plot of the 21st chapter by Riviera Jazz Records. It was 1949 when, at the Italian social renaissance, a jazz musical vulnus aimed at the modernity of the time, the bebop, in which the first local professionals were molded, was the background. Durium, a small but historic record company, together with the Amici del Jazz Club, created a series of twelve titles from which the songs contained on this CD are taken. Scrolling the names you meet Glauco Masetti on the alto sax already influenced by Parker (fluid and decisive in " Stupendous "), Gianfranco Intra on the piano, Enrico's brother, with a phrasing and rhythmic movement as in his " Fragments"and in the ballad" You go to my head ". And again, the trumpeter Giulio Libano , very bepop together with the alto saxophone of Flavio Ambrosetti , Franco's father who died in 2012, the piano by Gian Stellari and the rhythm of Berto Pisano at the double bass and Gil Cuppini on drums.
The well-known Oscar Valdambrini on trumpet, then twenty-seven years old, and the young twenty year old Gianni Basso on tenor sax have joined this group of musicians since 1951, who follow with verve and harmony the pianist Piero Umiliani , author of various songs boppist-inspired (" Formula ", " Man Bop "," Papyrology "). To the classics and songs of their composition, are spaced a few" standard "of the Italian song like" But love is not "and" do not forget me . "
As you continue in listening comes to 1954 with the Gianni Basso Quartet , very cohesive, amiably fluent, emblem of a language now fully assimilated and in the harmonies as in the dynamics (" Whispering ", " Over the rainbow ", " Perdido ", " Ain't Misbehavin ").
Pictures taken from the Riccardo Schwamental's archive and the inevitable notes of the patron Adriano Mazzoletti are punctual , smiling portrait on the back cover together with Piero Umiliani . Still a valuable work of reconstruction and selection then for the Roman label in the "Jazz in Italy in the 40s & 50s" series. Marco Losavio for Jazzitalia
