Tommaso Starace - From A Distant Past (2016/2019)

“Melody is the key to From a Distant Past, a record with an ancient flavor and a modern taste. The soprano tells stories of soundscapes, while the piano jumps from one ridge to another in the history of jazz touching the temporal extremes of an evolution that becomes art. "- Flavio Caprera

The saxophonist Tommaso Starace returns to record for EmArcy: after the homage to Michel Petrucciani and the project dedicated to the work of Gianni Berengo Gardin, it is the turn of the poetic duo with the pianist Michele Di Toro. Among original compositions (signed now by Starace now by Di Toro), one by Randy Newman and a classic by Chick Corea (the sixth Children’s Song), a delicate disc, at times imbued with sweet nostalgia. A new chapter in the history of one of the best saxophonists on the Italian and European scene.
