The House Behind This One Recensito su The JazzBreakfast

Giovanni Guidi Quartet: The House Behind This One (CamJazz)
****

If there seems to be something of an obsession with Italian jazz at the moment, it’s not intentional; it’s dependent upon what I am sent for review. Guidi is a pianist from Umbria who leads a lively band including an American saxophonist and a Portuguese drummer.

After a solid bit of solo piano to start, track two comes on like a Bad Plus workout, with a dark, squalling tenor solo from Dan Kinzelman. The band can do gentle, as they show on the title track, and a while later they move from a Guidi’s Peace Treaty to Ornette Coleman’s Peace Warriors.
