Renzo
Ruggieri's Group brings together some of Italy's finest jazz players,
has a mixed repertoire of original pieces and jazz standards. This combination
of musicians was also used by Ruggieri on his previous album " Accordion
Voyage" which entered the Italiana Top 20 Jazz chart.
"Spaghetti " in the title is used as an Italian metaphor for "Blues"
and the word "Time" refers to the rhythmic elaborations in each
piece.
Renzo is becoming more and more in demand as both an accordion player and
as a jazz teacher. He holds regular courses at the Pescarese Musical Academy
and has written a new Jazz course - "Elementi di Musica Jazz"
published by Berben in Italy. He has an interactive course on his web site
also.
This CD, like the previous, contains interactive tracks featuring all of
the original compositions.
Renzo's latest recording "Spaghetti Time" once again proves that
Renzo is an excellent jazz accordionist. Through the language of the contemporary
jazz, Renzo brings to the listener: moods, flavors, colors, feelings, nuances.
This is contemporary jazz accordion at its best. |
