“Sun Stone” is the latest star in the constellation of the bebop planets released so far by pianist and composer Roberto Magris. Playful and swinging the album features notable guests who deliver a bright “solar” performance: IRA SULLIVAN (flute, sax), SHAREEF CLAYTON (trumpet), MARK COLBY (tenor sax), JAMIE OUSLEY (acoustic bass), RODOLFO ZUNIGA (drums) The mood is set to enlightenment and joy reaching heights of energy mastered with finesse and a sense of surprise by Roberto Magris who always finds a new way to put his distilled influences at work. The reeds section vigorous playing makes its mark throughout the album, with Ira Sullivan on flute adding a nice warm velvet tonality to pieces such as “Innamorati A Milano”. “Planet of Love”
The title track “Sun Stone” divided in two parts is one of the hits, the band as a whole flies high at full speed and intensity, after a tempered melodic part one comes the second ending this wonderful album with an apotheosis of mastery and excitement.
