Il Grande Quarto d´Ora
“Un sentiero per soli uccelli”: la precisione
del vecchio Tu Fu colpisce
a distanza. Ecco il sole che spunta
il cortile che s´illumina.
Montagne a est/montagne a ovest.
(Mi ero dato un quarto d´ora: è scaduto.)
6/II/73
A trail only for birds”: the precision
of old Tu Fu strikes
at distance. Here comes the rising sun
the courtyard lights up.
Mountains to the east/mountains to the west.
(I gave myself a quarter of an hour: it´s past.)

Reviews
The Italian band led by clarinettist Locatelli performs what
could be termed a Jazz opera. Using a trio as the basic improvising
arm, the strong soprano voice of Invernizzi singing the secular
dialogue written by Beltrametti, and a string contingent as
the underpinning, Locatelli explores a very deep area of music.
Locatelli alternates between Bb clarinet and bass clarinet,
developing a heavy atmosphere of exploratory sound that provides
the ominous tone for the performance. He sculpts unusual sound
patterns with his reeds and interjects caustic statements
with regularity to spur the action. (…) Locatelli pays a debt
to Steve Lacy on this recording by including ´The Condor´
and ´Absence´. (…) On ´Import-Export´ the core group expands
to a quartet with the introduction of sopranino and bass clarinet
player Fuchs, who provides the delicate edge for a
dual-reed sparring segment. Another variation includes recitation
in English from Raworth on two selections, but the format
for the album mainly evolves around the Locatelli trio and
Invernizzi´s voice. (…)
It is a gem of improvised and composed interplay presented
with serious overtones. This original music is performed with
originality by a fine group of musicians. |
