This is another installment from the series jazz italiano live, organized by Gruppo Editoriale L Espresso S.p.A., featuring Italian artists (or groups headed by Italian artists) recorded live at Casa del Jazz in Rome. In this performance Rita Marcotulli leads a trio with Palle Danielsson on bass and Peter Erskine on drums.
Rita Marcotulli is a hidden gem of european piano playing. Here she explores the timbres of the piano [some thumping & various metal bits placed on the strings - often used as repeat patterns to play over] but mostly plays beautiful melodic pieces. She keeps well within herself, choosing to explore sonorities and harmonies rather than speedy runs.
