I already knew Adalberto and Andrea Ferrari's skill and good musical taste as I attended to at least a couple of previous concerts, always at local Conservatory of music auditorium...
These brothers and musical companions move themselves in a grey, yet colorful realm territory of no-label music... the best, in my humble opinion.
Not classical, yet in written notation, no jazz per-se, as not improvised, yet sometimes reminding Jimmy Giuffre's clarinet-based trios from the early '60s...
The music flows, easy to the ears, like a lyrical Anthony Braxton... ears-friendly BUT not already heard...
The recording I made with my trusty Neumann USM-69 and Sound Devices 722 at 24bit/192Khz is a document...
The disk Adalberto so kindly gave to me after the concert, is such a poetic production, a duo project titled "Overlays": two bass and contra-alto clarinets, soprano sax, clarinet duos of seldom heard beauty... math and lyrical intervowing dialogue, never boring...
Andrea and Adalberto Ferrari's composed really beautiful themes, with a single piece by beloved Roscoe Mitchell of AEoC-fame and Ornette Coleman.
I really enjoyed both the concert AND greatly grooved on NovoTono's disk... beautiful, angular music is superbly served by Stefano Amerio's recording at ArteSuono in Cavalicco, Udine...
Not an ECM's production, BUT... Stefano's skill undoubtedly serves every musician at his best and every musician giving his best, as well.
I strongly suggest everyone into nice, adventurous, original music to take a chance and get this very disk.
You won't regret.
