Title: Very good but was expecting more-should I have been?
Review: Franco D'Andrea along with Renato Sellani are the dean of Italian Jazz piano and I have many excellent Philology releases with him playing.But the material while an interesting choice didn't match his tyle the way some great American Songbook titles do.His treatment here sounded a like Adam Mankowizc that is a Tatum treatment that you would think would work with the material especially the Bix songs.But to me it seemed to busy for it's own good.But don't get me wrong it's a good purchase just not to my liking of some of his other works either lead by D'Andrea or as a sideman to folks like Enrico Rava or Gianni Basso.Still if you like cerebral post bop trio this should appeal to you and is anything but "the same old same old".Visit jazz foundation Of America.Give what you can to the "Jazz Oxfam"CheersChazz
