The debut album of the Lorelei Quartet is definitely promising. The four young musicians, plus the violin "guest" of reinforcement, have a clear idea and a conception of jazz quite accurate. Play, in fact, a music full of melody with some eco folk, some South American flavor, dominated the tone light and delicate. In addition, not to increase the dynamics, give up the battery, taking on the task of supporting each other rhythmically. In this way a job is created where the circular pattern is performed by a voice or two, or more, instruments unison. Engage, immediately, changes, embroidery, underscores, in a team game attentive to details, the nuances, the subtext. The guitar Loris Deval, author of all songs, proceeds favoring a soft accompaniment and a soloing environmentally friendly harmonious climate of the songs, never rising to the protagonist over the top. His solos are compositional hundred percent. Are instrumental to the development of the reasons, almost caressing them, make them rise slowly.
Comes into play when Massimo Marino enters the discourse taste of ancient and modern at the same time with an accordion gives the music the color of a local village festival and at the same time is linked to the tango, Argentina, to an exotic lived as close to or as a family.
Alberto Occhiena is concerned, often, the rhythm part, hitting the vibraphone with strength and determination, always in a context where no one "comes out" too hard, exceeding certain noise limits. In his solo performances reveals taste, swing and listening skills of the partners. Are particularly valuable in its placement "to raise" note rather than to add them. Few sentences, well-spoken and placed in the right place.
George Fiorini, so to speak, is content to sing the bass in any situation. Not only accompanies or rejects a priori defined this role. It is exalted in saying the melody or propose thematic variations of undoubted efficacy.
Martina Mazzon with the violin emphasizes the grace of the reasons, without letting them become mushy or too light. His contribution is particularly important from the point of view of timbre, because it enriches the overall sound of the group with something classic and popular at the same time.
