    Description

    The pianist and trio leader's new album features tributes to various jazz pianist-composers, as well as pioneers of the various styles that have shaped the genre's evolution. It's a celebration of the jazz piano genre, which encompasses a vast array of styles and possibilities that only a multipurpose instrument like the piano can offer.

    The project unfolds through a series of pieces that mostly address the compositional progression, aimed at revealing the artistic flair of the pianist-composers (from the 1940s to the 1960s and beyond), with the exception of one track, "Naima" by J. Coltrane, by the saxophone giant, to whom, given the composer's greatness, the pianist couldn't help but pay homage. On this album, and with reference to this last track, the pianist wanted to emphasize the indispensible nature of such an artist who marked the end of the bop period and the transition to free jazz, as well as the merit of infusing a mystical vision into his compositions. It's no coincidence that the trio's leader opens the track with a profound and contemplative interplay between double bass and Rhodes piano.

    The album “To Giants” contains the solo piano piece “Remembering Sante's Way,” an improvised fantasia dedicated to an illustrious pianist on the Italian jazz scene, Sante Palumbo. The piece aims to evoke the Italian pianist's impressionistic, jazzy sound. Sante Palumbo, a great pianist and composer of the 1960s and 1970s, boasts numerous collaborations with some of the greatest names in history, including Astor Piazzolla and Ron Carter, to whom the young pianist and protagonist of this album is very close, both for educational and other reasons. Among the tracks on the same album, you can hear pieces with a more distinctive mainstream sound as well as pieces featuring revisited themes in a more original version, reinterpreted with a new jazz sound.

    The tracks dedicated to B. Powell and T. Monk, such as "Giants' Melodies" (a piece based on the melodies of "Un Poco Loco – Evidence," including a brief reference to Bill Evans's "Very Early") and J. Zawinul's "Mercy Mercy Mercy," reflect this. Of particular interest is the track "Giants' Conversation," a medley of famous compositions in which the great jazz pioneers can be heard conversing with each other using their own melodies and gradually transitioning to a different sound. In it, in fact, you can hear Duke Ellington with Dancers in Love (a stride piano piece, composed in 1944 as a tribute to Fats Waller), Passion Dance by McCoy Tyner (a piece recorded in 1967 in the modal-quartal jazz genre), T. Monk with Well you Needn't (a famous piece from 1944, in the bebop style) and finally a brief reference to Rapsody in Blue by G. Gershwin, Rockin' Rhythm by D. Ellington, and quotes from Blue Seven by Sonny Rollins and So What by Mil Davis. The final touch of this “Intro” track is the song “Watch it” by H. Hancock, an artist very dear to the trio's leader.

    The album contains two tracks that pay homage to two of the trio leader's favourites and inspirations for his piano playing: African Flower by D. Ellington (1962), in an original sound characterised by the use of a percussive instrument such as the tar, and Arabesque by Ahmad Jamal (a pianist very dear to him for the orchestral conception of his piano playing and use of space). A piece with the pianist's expressive and creative peculiarities.

    Simplicity at its best for the Tennis loving Girl
    Color: White, Size: 7-8 Years
    Pros: - this is a very chic and simple White Tennis dress - and stands out for its classic look! - The fit was perfect for my 4’ 8 girl and a very comfortable fit. - the dress also comes with a matching pair of shorties with a pocket / pouch for a phone or keys. - the fabric is very soft on the skin and is more technical in nature - means it can breathe well and perspiration vents out. - the material is also very stretchable - imp for playing the game and moving around daily. - I have put it through couple of rounds of washings and it has held well till date. Cons: Nothing that I can think of - durability and quality seem to hold , offering good value for money.

    Nice modest sporty dress
    Color: Navy Blue, Size: 11-12 Years
    Nice soft dress with separate shorts. I love the color. We ordered a size 11-12 and it fits great. I wish it were a little more structured but it is very modest.

    Adorable dress and fictional too
    Color: Navy Blue, Size: 9-10 Years
    This tennis dress is absolutely adorable and exactly what I look for in kids’ active wear. It’s modest, practical, and cute all at once! My daughter loves it, and the built-in shorts with pockets make it perfect for running, playing golf, pickleball, or just everyday summer fun. The material is soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking, so she stays comfortable even on hot days. I got size 9-10, which fits true to size. For reference, my 8-year-old is 52” and 63 lbs, and there’s still room to grow. This has quickly become a go-to outfit for summer activities because it’s stylish, functional, and kid-approved.

    Stylish, comfortable, breathable, and fast drying! Perfect for active wear!
    Color: Black, Size: 13-14 Years, Color: Black, Size: 13-14 Years
    This tennis dress/set is perfect for my daughter. She can use it for tennis, golf, or just as an addition to her summer wardrobe. It fits true to size (though it does run a bit long), and it looks great on. The fabric is very soft and stretchy (a polyester and spandex blend). It’s also very breathable and quick drying, and I love that it’s machine washable. I also like that the shorts are not sewn in (instead it’s a two piece outfit). The shorts also have pockets large enough to fit tennis balls on both hips. The neckline is high and modest, and the skirt is loose and flowy. The dress and shorts are well made and durable too. Because it’s so lightweight, it’s great to wear even in hot and humid weather. The pullover design makes it easy to put on and take off. This dress is a great addition to any active girl’s wardrobe, and it’s a great value too. And it’s available in sizes from 7/8 to 13/14 and several different colors too!

    Shorts are separate
    Color: Pink, Size: 11-12 Years
    This athletic dress is really cute and good quality. It fits true to size. I actually sized up because sometimes athletic dresses run more form fitting, but this one isn’t tight at all. The shorts are separate (I originally thought they were built in), and they do have a pocket, which is a nice bonus. The price is fair for what you get. There’s plenty of room for my daughter to grow into it and hopefully wear it for a few years. Overall, it’s comfortable and a great find.
