Fotografia
Fotografia is the second album by Italian pianist Francesco Turrisi for Diatribe Records. Turrisi presents an original blend of contemporary European jazz influenced by Baroque music and Mediterranean traditional music in an album featuring intimate piano trio alongside piano solo performances. The album contains original compositions by Turrisi and arrangements of Italian traditional melodies as well as a series of short improvisations on a baroque bass line called 'ciaccona', performed here by an exceptional rhythm section of Portugese drummer Joao Lobo and Danish bass player Claus Kaarsgaard.
reviews:
"a highly original work, perfectly composed and meditative without being abstract"
- Neri Pollastri, All About Jazz
"In this collection of sublime instrumentals, Turrisi draws from his own experiences to illustrate the different stages of life from the quiet birth of the title cut to the specter of death on “Lachrimae (For My Father).”
- Jazztimes
"totally absorbing"
- Ian Patterson, All About Jazz
