3Quietmen - Trump'n'Drum'n'Bass (2000)

Ramon Moro, trumpeter of the trio, states this in the essential booklet. Other few sentences furnish the two internal pages with politically eloquent photo clippings.
A long excursus through disparate themes both geographically and socially. An adventure in historical sonorities and in its evolutions. Ramon Moro's acrid and strong trumpet opens its timbres in the counterpoints of Federico Marchesano and in the pounding, almost heavy driving of Dario Bruna.
An acid gait. An inspiring representation with well-defined tracks. The classical accents quickly become modern and post-modern metropolitan structures. The "Blade Runner" of jazz language that conveys muscular tensions, rich in hybrids and literary meanings. It could be the right soundtrack to the poems of Charles Bukowski or the more noir Paul Auster.
The title track is the icon of work. Modern tensions, only in a few hints, marry fragmentation and jazz rhythm. The distortions and dystonias of the trumpet leave room for ambiguity in every sense, not just musically. Here, the determining element of this work is the musical ambiguity. A crasis of shapes, sounds, colors, history and stories. Iridescent and coherently descriptive colors and emotions which, in some ways, are a punch in the stomach. A boost to neurons that are sometimes dormant. And sometimes it takes.
