Giovanni Mirabassi Trio & Strings - VIVA V.E.R.D.I. (CAM Jazz 2013)
The trio and strings create a perfect alchemy for generating themes of intense beauty and airy melodies. The principal creators of these themes are Mirabassi and Renzi, the latter of whom also arranged the entire album, apart from the two last tracks, “Bebè” (by Hermeto Pascoal) and the traditional “Arirang”, a kind of non-official South Korean national anthem. The arrangements of the string orchestra arouse dreams of romantic scenes for cinema, as if studied for imaginary soundtracks.
