- STEFANO PASTOR: "FREEDOM" Stefano Pastor (violin),
George Haslam (baritone sax,
tarugato), Gianni Lugo (alto
sax), Giorgio Dini (double
bass)
This
project
is witness of the artistic growth of Stafno Pastor, also confirmed by
the many reviews he got (for instance, his duo CD with Borah Bergman
by “All About Jazz New
York”) and above all from the excellent ranking on Top Jazz
2009,
with votes from the italian critics.
This music has a clear reference to Free Jazz form the sixties, here performed with freshness in a modern key. A SILTA RECORDS & SLAM PRODUCTIONS JOINT PRODUCTION! |

Freedom: in
a avant-garde setting redolent of the Seventies – but with a
definite Chicagoan
cast –
inasmuch as it is an
evolution
from the American trends of the Sixties. A glance to tradition, by way
of
mirroring and further reflecting some methods and events of the
African-American avant-garde, with its peculiar sticking to the groove
of an
historical continuum.

The single or simultanous handling of the two instruments on Haslam’s part gets inside (or ovelaps) the nervous strain, unrelenting mostly on the ryhthmical level, built by the two other soloists, Stafano Pastor on violin and Claudio Lugo on curved soprano sax. It is within the collective improvisation of the three soloists (add the bass of Giorgio Dini working as a full-ranked and autonomous rhythm section) that takes place the ricovery of ‘dirtyness’, that is to say, of the less-than-perfect simultaneity of the performing artists, of the unclean attack of single notes; whence that impredictable richness in tone and rhythm, so peculiar to the free jazz tradition, wielded here as a radical instrument of expression. (Erika Dagnino, from the liner notes)
