Antonello Salis, a renowned figure in the free jazz scene, presents "Live in Ventotene," a captivating album recorded on June 22, 2012, and released under the Rudi Records label. This 44-minute journey through improvisational jazz is a testament to Salis' mastery of the piano and accordion, accompanied by the dynamic interplay of Schiaffini and Kasirissafar on bass and drums, respectively.
The album's title track, "Islands," sets the stage for an exploration of soundscapes that are as varied as the landscapes of the island of Ventotene, where the performance took place. "Feral Cats" and "Morphologies" showcase Salis' ability to blend structure and spontaneity, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both intricate and accessible. "Rotondo" and "Via Lattea" offer moments of introspection, while "Respiro," "Parata Grande," "Fontanelle," and "Ponte Di Terra" build to climactic peaks, demonstrating the trio's collective virtuosity.
Salis, known for his collaborations with artists like Jon Balke and his work on projects such as "Heartland," brings his extensive experience and innovative spirit to this live recording. "Live in Ventotene" is not just a document of a performance; it's a vivid portrayal of the energy and creativity that define free jazz at its best. Whether you're a longtime fan of Salis or new to his work, this album offers a compelling introduction to the world of improvisational jazz.
