Massimo Faraò is a wonderful Italian pianist who has played and recorded with Red Holloway, Albert “Tootie” Heath, Tony Scott, Franco Ambrosetti, Nat Adderley, Jeff Tain Watts, Jack DeJohnette and Chris Potter, among others. Venus Records’ producer Tetsuo Hara must have really fallen in love with Farao’s music because in less than a year he has released no less than five of the Italian pianist’s albums. On this album Massimo Farao’ and his piano join together with Aldo Zunino on bass and Marco Tolotti on drums to complile an 11-track SACD full of jazz’s favorite staples from Duke Ellington, Cole Porter and many more!
It seems quite a feat for a piano trio to produce three albums-worth music in three days, but the quality of the performance is consistently high. Farao’s passionate style and romanticism are very attractive along with the rich harmonies he creates. He doesn’t play too many notes and his arrangements are relatively straight forward, but his choice of notes is exquisite. With his unfailing sense of swing, all his music–including ballads–radiates an aura of happiness. Recommended to fans of piano trios!
