Rino Adamo FIII Quartet – Variazioni su un Tema
Splasc(h) Records
The composer and violinist has proved to be one of the most
original, eccentric, peripheral "new" voices of Italian Jazz. After the notable
Antologia Italiana recorded in duet with the pianist Sergio Corbini, Adamo reunites
a symbiotic quartet with Loic Dequidt (piano), Mauro Gargano (double bass), and
Fabio Accardi (drums). Nine original compositions play in complicity mainly with
the pianist, hovering on the sonorous edge between contemporary music and experimental
Jazz. In the violin solo in Anima tripla, Adamo can be appreciated in the quartet
of the enigmatic Prologo, and in the sharp Lillo e la mosca, in the refined Canone
imperfetto. Music restless and passionate.
(Luigi Onori-2005)
