The Piano Room Early Morning NEW CD

Francesco Gazzara strikes back! An acoustic piano simultaneously playing guitar tabs and orchestral transcriptions: not so usual... So is the double bass alternation between romantic bowing and swing pizzicato. And what about a rock drum kit suddenly becoming a symphonic percussion ensemble? Whether on stage or in the studio, THE PIANO ROOM is all this and much more. Composer and pianist Francesco Gazzara's new project, after 15 years of TV/film scoring and 4 albums with acid jazz combo GAZZARA, merges prog rock's mystical atmospheres with Canterbury's acoustic folk. The piano/double bass/drums trio, usually a jazz formula, was the perfect vehicle to give those precious musical genres a modern impact. On ¿Early Morning¿, Francesco Gazzara shares duties with Luca Fogagnolo (double bass) and Giuliano Ferrari (drums, gongs, tambourine), both members of Italian jazz combo Chat Noir. All the songs have been arranged for a live trio, with emphasis on choral tension, pastoral echoes and epic melodies. To some ears it might sound like Genesis (in fact ¿Watcher Of The Skies¿ is part of their live set) or Tony Banks, Ant Phillips, King Crimson, Rick Wakeman, Erik Satie, Claude Debussy... Or maybe THE PIANO ROOM is just a modern path on an ancient rug: a kind of imaginary journey that will take you through years of fruitful contacts between rock and classical music. The Piano Room
