Franco D'Andrea Trio - Something Bluesy and More (2024)

For the new project coming out for Parco della Musica Records, Franco D'Andrea revisits the piano trio alongside Roberto Gatto, one of the most prestigious European drummers, and the young and highly appreciated double bass player Gabriele Evangelista.

The idea behind the meeting is to bring into the trio formula the rhythmic and interval inventions and the freedom typical of D'Andrea's music, and to deal with a repertoire little frequented by this type of formation: from blues to jazz from the origins, passing through Ellington and Coltrane, to pure invention. D'Andrea recovers from the origins of jazz a bluesy feeling that permeates the trio's poetics and gives life to free, joyful and extremely communicative music.
