An absolutely exceptional recording session: Dado Moroni, maybe the most popular Italian pianist in the world at present time performs with the great trumpeter Tom Harrell with his incomparable style, considered by many people as one of the most important musician and composer of the recent jazz history . The quality of the expression is very high. The CD is provided of lyricism and creative energy to celebrate “pure jazz”.
The great swing, the exceptional timing and the crystal musical talent of Dado Moroni, the expressive intensity and the personal inspired Tom Harrell phrasing are only few of the ingredients of this recording. From the liner note of the album: Tom Harrell and Dado Moroni tell their stories simply and authentically. There is a tough relationship between the two musicians, a silent and deeply-felt understanding that spans throughout the entire CD. What it really matters is the thrill provided by tunes such as “Humanity” or “The Nearness of You”, as well as other tracks, revealing a touching chance of beauty. Just in cases like this jazz reaches the point of being the most human of all expressions of art.
