about

A tre anni dal suo primo album («Trio.org»), il veneziano Nicola Dal Bo ci fa intuire un diverso possibile sviluppo per l’ormai canonica formazione dell’organ trio sostituendo la più convenzionale chitarra con il sassofono, che offre forse prospettive più originali e meno prevedibili alla musica solitamente proposta da questo tipo di organico. A suonarlo è Nevio Zaninotto, strumentista molto maturato in questi ultimi anni, che conferma la fertilità jazzistica della regione da cui proviene, il Friuli, patria anche del magnifico Luca Colussi, oggi forse il batterista più duttile e richiesto dell’area triveneta. Le interessanti prospettive aperte dall’utilizzo del sax, soprattutto tenore nel nostro caso, unitamente all’approccio “leggero” ed allo stesso tempo incisivo di Dal Bo – dovuto forse al non aver mai abbandonato il pianoforte, che qui utilizza, com’era già successo nel primo disco, per un breve solo finale (Finally) – diverso da quello della maggior parte degli specialisti dell’Hammond in circolazione, consentono per esempio al trio di fornire una sorprendente raffinata versione dell’adagio di una celebre sonata beethoveniana, quasi una ballad jazzistica, ma anche di realizzare un semplice quanto efficace arrangiamento della frequentatissima Secret love, ideale trampolino di lancio per l’impetuoso ma sempre lucido tenore di Zaninotto. Fra i brani del leader meritano di venire ricordati almeno l’efficace ipnotico riff iniziale di IFD, l’originale rielaborazione in stile monkiano di What is this thing called love? – uno degli standard più utilizzati per i loro mascheramenti dai bopppers – che qui diventa, molto più semplicemente, What is this?, così come l’armonicamente più complesso e articolato tema che dà il titolo al disco, Bad vibes. Torniamo quindi in pieno clima organ trio con R.A.M., con la sua melodia dal forte sapore bluesy, facile da memorizzare, unico brano firmato da Zaninotto, che nella ballad successiva, 2–3–7, altra composizione del leader, dimostra di sapersela cavare benissimo anche al sax soprano.

Three years after his first album («Trio.org»), the Venetian Nicola Dal Bo gives us an insight into a different possible development for the almost canonical lineup of the Organ Trio, replacing the more conventional guitar with saxophone, which provides a perhaps more original and less predictable perspective to the music usually offered by this type of band. The saxes are played by Nevio Zaninotto, a musician which has grown a lot in the recent years, confirming the fertility of jazz in his region, Friuli Venezia Giulia, also home of the magnificent Luca Colussi, perhaps the most versatile and requested drummer today in the area. The interesting perspectives opened by the use of the sax, especially tenor in this case, together with Dal Bo’s light and at the same time incisive approach, different from that of most Hammond specialists around – perhaps due to the fact that he never abandoned the piano, which he uses here, as in the first album, for a short final “solo” (Finally) – allow the trio to provide, for example, a surprisingly refined version of the adagio of a famous Beethoven sonata, almost a jazz ballad, but also to create a simple yet effective arrangement of the very popular Secret love, ideal springboard for Zaninotto’s impetuous but always lucid tenor sax. Among the leader’s tracks, those which deserve to be remembered are, at least, the effective and hypnotic initial riff in IFD, the original rework in Monkian style of What is this thing called love? – one of the most used standards in the boppers’ contrafacts – which here becomes, more simply, What is this? – as well as the more harmonically complex and articulated theme that provides the title track, Bad vibes. We then go back to a full Organ Trio atmosphere with R.A.M., thanks to a blues flavored melody, easy to memorize, the only piece composed by Zaninotto, that in the following ballad, 2–3–7, another composition by the leader, proves that he can also master the soprano sax
