INFO / BIO

The surprising thing about this pianoless group of young Italians is that there are moments where their music calls to mind the small Chris McGregor combos of the late sixties. They make similar use of ensemble riffs and, when armed with his pocket trumpet, Pino Minafra conjures up the image of the late, lamented Mongezi Feza.

Perhaps this is only a general impression because this quintet does have a personality of its own. Minafra is a very good player on all his horns, Cavallanti is a useful

Sheppish saxophonist

and Bonvini makes honest trombone statements that fit the style ideally. Dalla Porta

is outstanding in a mobile rhythm

section and each of the themes is developed with imagination, this being especially true in the case of the moving “Seals”. The steady traffic of

American modernists through the Milan studios

has obviously had its beneficial affects.
