Una nuova bellissima recensione per LULELA nella edizione di ottobre di quiSalento.
Un grazie speciale va a Matteo Tangolo che con attenzione e professionalità è sempre disposto ad ascoltare e leggere le mie produzioni.

“Lulela. Lui, lei, L’altro” non è solo un libro, ma una lucida follia…
…Tutto funziona a puntino, con linguaggio limpido e una voglia matta di tenere il segno col dito, tra le pagine, per ritrovare quel bivio che ci si è lasciati alle spalle, e vedere come sarebbe andata la vita se si fosse imboccata un’altra strada.
Matteo tangono (quiSalento)

Gottfried di Franco’s SO FAR review for Jazz’halo – Jazz the Italian way

Wonderful review in the editorial section of Jazz Halo: Jazz the Italian way #2. – (Texte © ferdinand dupuis-panther)

EN
“Subconcious-Lee” is like a spring ripple in a soft green…
“Contemplation arises when the guitar solo opens the piece “P.”…
“…A homage to Amsterdam is to be found in “Leidseplein Madness”: It rocks really hard. The saxophone is eccentric, but then it catches itself again and makes a gentle wind whisper. The madness, it seems, to take a break. But then, as you continue listening, you think fireworks rockets are being shot into the sky, and the guitarist lets the strings buzz, howl, whimper, howl. At the end there is the musical “happiness”.
DE
“Einem Frühlingsrauschen im zarten Grün gleicht „Subconcious-Lee“…
“Kontemplation kommt auf, wenn das Gitarrensolo das Stück „P.“ eröffnet…
“..Eine Hommage an Amsterdam findet sich mit „Leidseplein Madness“: Da rockt es ganz gewaltig. Exaltiert gibt sich das Saxofon, das sich dann aber wieder fängt und ein zartes Windsäuseln von sich gibt. Der Wahnsinn macht, so scheint es, auch auf dem Leidseplein mal eine Pause. Doch dann meint man beim weiteren Zuhören, Feuerwerksraketen werden in den Himmel geschossen, und der Gitarrist lässt die Saiten schwirren, jaulen, wimmern, heulen. Zum Schluss findet sich dann noch das musikalische „Glück“.

Immaginatevi i #BIJA isolati dal #mondo, per due settimane, immersi con anima e cuore nella produzione di #nuova #musica!

Abbiamo raccolto qualche scena di questa esperienza per raccontarvi dove stiamo andando.

La musica che ascolterete è un piccolo estratto di una lunga sessione di improvvisazione fatta nel 2018, la quale si troverà, anch’essa, nel nostro prossimo album, mescolandosi “bijosamente” alle nuove composizioni che per ora ancora non vi sveliamo!

Imagine the #BIJA isolated from the #world, for two weeks, immersed with heart and soul in the production of #new #music!

We’ve gathered a few scenes from this experience to tell you where we’re going.

The music you will listen (Mosquitos on Mars) to is a small extract of a long improvisation session made in 2018, which will also be on our next album, mixing “in a bija-way” with the new compositions that for now we don’t reveal yet!
