Ida Lupino

Ida Lupino

0 - Default Title
Description
Pianist Giovanni Guidi and trombonist Gianluca rella, key figures in what some are hailing as a "golden age" of Italian jazz, found their strong improational rapport inside Enrico Rava's band (see for instance the 2010 ECM album 'Tribe') and, keen to play more, formed a duo, giving many concerts in which they are intermittently joined by guests.
For this studio recording, producer Manfred Eicher brought the duo together with US drummer Gerald Cleaver and French clarinettist Louis Scla, for an outgoing set of music which includes lyrical free improing and tunes composed by Giovanni and Gianluca.
The piece called "Gato!" tips the hat to Mr Barbieri, and title track "Ida Lupino" serves double duty as a salute to composer Carla Bley in her 80th year (rella once played in a big band under Carla's direction) and as a tribute to Paul Bley, who popularized the tune and influenced so many improers (not least Giovanni Guidi).
Personnel: Giovanni Guidi (piano), Gianluca rella (trombone), Louis Scla (clarinet, bass clarinet), Gerald Cleaver (drums)
