Alessandro Lanzoni - Diversions '2016

Tracks list

Through his two latest, most successful records, “Dark Flavour” and
“Seldom”, released on CAM JAZZ in 2013 and 2014, respectively,
Alessandro Lanzoni has conclusively developed his own features as an artist who
puts his talent to good use in an unceasing musical exploration, to meet his
inborn communication needs that are funnelled into narrative paths, both
fanciful and logical, where form and imagination are strongly balanced. A
performer so willing to explore could not but find piano solo as a favourable
environment, in which he is able to release his creative energy most genuinely
and subjectively: this is how Lanzoni’s latest album, again to be
released on CAM JAZZ, was born. Its title, “Diversions”, conveys
Alessandro’s ability to create ever-changing sonic landscapes through
free improvisation, places where the listener is led confidently by an expert
who knows how to manoeuver the roughest paths, mastering the most varied musical
languages. For his stylistic versatility, Alessandro Lanzoni perfectly
represents a contemporary aesthetic theory that leads the artist to express the
many different stimuli of today’s world. But all this is supported by the
young pianist’s strong background of classical studies, skilfully
absorbed formal patterns and own genuine “jazzy” nature that induce
the famous Scottish music reviewer, Brian Morton, to say:
“Lanzoni’s music is not so much washed on the banks of the Arno as
dipped in the waters of the Mississippi”, joking about his name, oddly
sounding like Manzoni, the Italian author of “The Betrothed”.
