Giancarlo Mazzù - Any Morning (2019)

The long-standing duo of guitarist Giancarlo Mazzù and pianist Luciano Troja, return with a selection of their original compositions, on this their fourth SLAM CD, another important milestone on their path together, marking over 15 years of collaboration and music empathy.

'Any Morning' presents 10 new original compositions, through which the two musicians open their musical vision to new languages through their mutual sensitivity. The programme traces the duo's unique style of improvisation based on their own compositions, from baroque to jazz roots, to avant-garde.

The title of the CD, and also the composition, "Any Morning" take inspiration from a poem by the great poet Bill Zavatsky, (from the book "Where X Marks the Spot"). Poet/pianist, Zavatsky is well-known also for the poem "Elegy (for Bill Evans 1929-1980)" composed for the legendary Bill Evans recording "You Must Believe in Spring" and printed on the sleeve of the vinyl album, released 1981.
