i seem to be on a bit of an italian jazz kick right now, with shows by mario pavone, mauro negri and now mauro verrone.  this was shared by the prolific survivor69, who has some interesting comments below.  i recently got around to setting up streaming from my computer in my office to the living room, so now i can play things like this over dinner.  lovely — and in this case, i’m sure it will be better received than what i chose last night.  or that might have been due to the crappy tv speakers, in which case perhaps my streaming efforts have been for naught.

** update: for some reason, only the first 5 tracks (counting the intro) made it into the zip file — it bombed during the 4th actual track.  i’ve uploaded a new zip, with all 9 tracks **


mauro verrone quartet [con cicci santucci]

recorded at casa del jazz, roma, italy, on friday 18.march.2016

mauro verrone, alto saxophone
andrea beneventano, pianoforte
paride furzi, basso
massimiliano de lucia, drums
with guest cicci santucci, trumpet

quite classic bop from this massimo urbani emule… most compostions are verrone’s, except where noted, but indeed they mostly are standard tune reworked in some way (ie track4 comes from naima, and track6 is almost same title, track7 comes from love for sale, and read track8 the other way round…)
also included in this folder as track00 a radio introduction with bio notes and commentaries – this intro runs for 3’34”, you can skip downloading it if you don’t understand italian.

a bit of nice italian jazz, shared by the prolific dimer ‘survivor69’ who called it “sixties soul-jazz” with a bit of swing.  however you describe it, this is very listenable music, and adds a lift to whatever you’re doing while it’s on.

all tracks are by the saxophonist (an orchestral sideman), but the leader is the drummer, with a long career in italian music. music proposed here is allegedly “sixties soul-jazz” with a bit of swing, check samples for an idea of what this could mean… also included in the folder, marked as track 00, a brief radio introduction in italian with bio notes and commentaries – this intro runs for 1’45”, you can skip downloading it if you don’t understand italian.
