Choice Quartet - Battiti Asincroni vol.2 (2023)

Make yourself comfortable: listening to this album offers you a free ticket for a long journey around the world. Let yourself be carried away by the sensation of being enveloped by sounds that blend with the intense aromas of an Arab souk or with the strong aroma of coffee in a Belgrade kafana. Immerse yourself in the warm notes of a sweet ballad heard in an Irish pub; or dive into the swinging atmosphere of a smoky jazz club on New York's 52nd street and then unexpectedly find yourself together with a musical band from a Sicilian village playing in the procession behind the statue of the patron saint. These are the emotions you will experience listening to the double album "Asynchronous beats" by the Choice quartet. Eight intense songs for each volume that will surely amaze you. The Choice Quartet are Roberto Barni, composer of all the songs, on drums and double bass in some tracks, Armando Barni on alto sax, Sergio Battaglia on tenor sax and Massimiliano Gintoli on electric bass.
"The title of this project, "Asynchronous beats", intends to testify to my predilection and profound fascination for odd times, which merge into a decomposed but methodical dance, a game that draws its legitimacy from the freedom that music, and in particular jazz, it concedes and wishes to itself. These notes and these rhythms are my homage to that goddess who has marked the beats of a whole life" Roberto Barni
