Gianni Bardaro Sinestetic Jazz Overflow CD - Import

GIANNI BARDARO SINESTETIC JAZZ is an open and travelling modern jazz project, created and lead by the Italian saxophonist and composer Gianni Bardaro. The international jazz quartet (Italy/Denmark) is "...a clear example of new jazz vibes" and offers a young, fresh but precise sound with a clear understanding of its musical direction. The critically acclaimed quartet is based in Copenhagen and it has been blessed with very well attended concerts together with excellent reviews both at home and abroad. The music is primarily original compositions and arrangements by Gianni Bardaro, inspired by the Synaesthesia phenomen . Synaesthesia means a mixture of sensory inputs, it can be defined as an emotional experience which causes a confusion of the senses. In other words, "synaesthesia” is a confluence and mutual intermingling of different sensory inputs: can one taste a colour? Can one touch a scent? Can one see the sound of the music?...It is not a coincidence that the music of the saxophonist and his quartet / quintet seem to translate emotional states generated by a multitude of sensations in a fresh and innovative jazz language, which winds between various musical influences and not only, involving an alive backround where is possible to feel Latin, Mediterranean and Scandinavian moods. With less then 3 years of activity, the band is expanding internationally its vibes gaining excellent results. After the successfull debut CD titled "Overflow" Gianni Bardaro and his band are making ready the next recording for the winter 2009. PRESS/REVIEWS *"Gianni Bardaro is an excellent musician, soloist, composer and arranger. His music is fresh, exciting and yet mellow and groovy. His group is tight and cohesive, complimenting each other throughout the CD. All the compositions will take you on a trip and adventure of musical delight. Any avid fan of jazz will be greatly entertain with this CD" CARLOS GARNETT (M.Davis,C.Mingus,F.Hubbard, A.Blakey) * "Bardaro’s music, even while rooted in the tight, collaborative combo approach, is still fresh and new; this is no nostalgia trip or return to some “golden jazz age”. When put into the context of Euro nu-jazz,something like Scandinavian tango (as in “Scandango”) is almost revolutionary. This "sinestetic jazz" should appeal to a wide jazz audience – or, as tenor saxophonist Carlos Garnett, a veteran of bands led by the likes of Miles Davis, Pharaoh Sanders, Art Blakey, Andrew Hill, and Charles Mingus, says, “I recommend this CD to all fanatics of jazz worldwide.” So be it. BILL SIEGEL – Jazz reviewer - 21 October 2007 USA *"Italian composer and saxophonist Gianni Bardaro just released "Overflow", an album full of surprises for modern jazz fans. Featuring musicians from Italy, Norway and Denmark the quintet has built a distinct jazz vocabulary based around Gianni Bardaro's compositions. Balancing between lyricism and swing the album has plenty of memorable moments. The sax-piano-trumpet interactions backed by a bold bass-drum section is clearly a winning formula either drawing melodic lines on Song For Dicembre or blending energetic sax-trumpet grooves on Supernova Latina". STEPHEN BOCIOACA - JazzWorldQuest – Canada *"The Italian saxophone player Gianni Bardaro is an artist who likes to integrate all the emoctional and material vibes of his creation (in this case the Jazz) in order to generate results which go over the simple empatia and applause: energy that flows freely..."
