"Mountains, Love & Humour" is a captivating exploration of free jazz by Italian saxophonist Daniele D'Agaro, released on August 1, 2012, under the Artesuono label. Spanning a generous 75 minutes, this album is a testament to D'Agaro's virtuosic skill and his ability to blend humor, tenderness, and raw energy into a cohesive musical journey.
The album's title sets the stage for a diverse collection of tracks, each with its own unique character and charm. From the playful "My Donkey Has Long Ears" to the introspective "Portrait of Two Shepherds," D'Agaro and his ensemble navigate a landscape of sound that is as varied as it is engaging. The album's centerpiece, "Booker T," pays homage to the legendary organist, showcasing D'Agaro's ability to reinterpret classic themes with a fresh, modern twist.
Throughout "Mountains, Love & Humour," D'Agaro's saxophone is the guiding force, weaving in and out of the rhythm section with a sense of purpose and direction. The album's free jazz roots are evident in its improvisational nature, but it is the band's tight chemistry and shared musical vision that truly sets it apart.
Daniele D'Agaro has crafted an album that is both a celebration of the free jazz tradition and a bold step forward. "Mountains, Love & Humour" is a testament to the power of music to evoke a range of emotions, from joy and laughter to introspection and contemplation. It's an album that demands to be heard, not just once, but again and again.
