Powerful and rich ! This is the
ultimate musico-psychological study, but one that thrills and
moves. These are my first impressions of this recording.
As composer - Renzo
- said himself, "Guided Improvisation is like a composer's sketches".
Personally, I feel that the style of Renzo's music is a sort
of contemporary jazz improvisation based on elements of tango,
blues etc.
I would
like to make a remark on two aspects of Renzo's music and performance
which made a very strong impression on me: its spirituality
and its "musical - photography" if I may use this term. Renzo's
improvisations are highly intellectual and spiritual. After
the first couple of moments of listening to his music you find
yourself being totally consumed into his musical world. It touches
your imagination and it touches your spirit.
At the
same time his music creates these vivid abstract images (which
I call "musical-photographs"), play of light and shadow, play
with the sound, play with feelings, moods. You can clearly hear
his music breath - all together making his improvisations high
powered!
Original
and provocative. Not too many recordings offer that these days!
