Norbert Dalsass, Michele Giro, Roman Hinteregger - Still - Jazz Fantasy (2023)

Jazz Fantasy is a trio formed by double bass player Norbert Dalsass, one of the most respected exponents of jazz in South Tyrol. The group is active from 1993, but released its first album following five years of regular activity, «Undiscovered Hit’s», with three special guests, including the famous trumpeter Franco Ambrosetti. Then they returned to the original trio with «Modus» (2000) and «Every Breath We Take» (2005). With «Between» (2007), other three winds, among which Ambrosetti, were added again. These four albums were released by Splasc(H) label. The trio, whose members are basically equal in terms of leadership, is completed by the pianist from Bolzano Michele Giro and drummer Roman Hinteregger, who hails from Brixen like Dalsass. The excellent, at times magical interplay created by the three musicians allows each one to take the initiative in turn; even the double bass and the drums, besides supplying the rhythm, can take the lead like the piano and become, if necessary, leaders. After many concerts, 15 years after «Between», the trio feels the need to return to recording in the studio of the new music, and the fifth Jazz Fantasy album, released this time by Caligola, also comes out to celebrate their thirty years of activity (1993–2023): a very special anniversary!
