Daniele Santimone trio-A little Bartòk(abeat for jazz 2011)

Some of the most acclaimed jazz musicians of the Italian scene they create a recording project that revisits some of the melodies from the opera Mikrokosmos, the famous cycle of piano pieces composed by Bela Bartok. The intent is to bring out the lyricism of these short compositions rich in references to popular music of many peoples of Eastern European and Middle East and put them in a context very close to the harmonic and rhythmic atmosphere of modal jazz. A 'transaction of great value also because this reading is set up as a rarity in the contemporary jazz. The presence of musicians of great value and intensity of expression of the soloists give the album a touch of class and elegance that make the listening experience interesting from both an emotionally and intellectually.
