Track 1–5 recorded on 9th July 2015 at Imputlevel Studio, S.Biagio di Callalta (Treviso), by Claudio Zambenedetti; Tracks 6–10 recorded on 14th May 2018 at Art Music Studio, Bassano Del Grappa (Vicenza), by Diego Piotto; all tracks mixed and mastered in January 2019 at Thelonious24 Studio, Montecchio Maggiore (Vicenza), by Lorenzo Calgaro.


Molto attivo sia in campo didattico che concertistico, Michele Calgaro lo è molto meno in quello discografico, specie in qualità di leader. Ma quando pubblica un nuovo album lo fa sempre perché ha qualcosa di nuovo ed interessante da dire. Se c’erano voluti 5 anni per riportare in studio il quintetto che ci aveva regalato l’ottimo «Progressions» (Caligola, 2011), ne abbiamo dovuto aspettare altri quattro per godere i frutti di questa seduta di registrazione, cui sono stati aggiunti quattro brani registrati l’anno scorso con una diversa coppia ritmica, questa volta russa. Ci sono ancora al suo fianco l’energica tromba di Alex Sipiagin – qui anche autore di due brani – ed il sapiente sax di Robert Bonisolo, collaudati e preziosi compagni d’avventura, che con Michele sono anche gli unici musicisti presenti in tutte e nove le tracce del disco (la decima, Arise, è un breve e delicato solo di chitarra). «Full Score» è un lavoro profondo e sincero, vario ed allo stesso tempo estremamente coerente. Se la partenza con Short Wave è a dir poco bruciante, l’atmosfera sa farsi più morbida e rarefatta in Letter to Evans (un altro riuscito omaggio è quello fatto a Jim Hall in One for Hall).
Ha detto del suo lavoro Michele Calgaro: “La mia scrittura nasce quasi sempre da storie ed estetiche interiori, pensate al servizio dell’improvvisazione: un equilibrio delicato, uno stimolo per un racconto collettivo capace allo stesso tempo di valorizzare le singole individualità, dove le azioni dell’interpretazione e dell’improvvisazione estemporanea dei musicisti sono la vera sostanza dei brani… La fortuna di poter percorrere questi sentieri insieme a compagni straordinari, che riescono a coniugare con naturalezza intensità e relax, è un valore aggiunto impagabile, e poter fermare alcuni di questi momenti in una registrazione rende invece ripetibili e condivisibili i risultati di questo, per me sempre sorprendente, processo creativo”.

_______________________________________________________

Michele Calgaro is very active both in teaching and performing, but a little less in recording, especially as a leader. But when he releases a new album, he always does it because he has something new and interesting to say. It took five years to bring back to the studio the quintet that gave us the excellent «Progressions» (2011, Caligola), and we had to wait four more to enjoy the result of this recording session, to which were added other four tunes recorded last year with a different rhythm section, this time a Russian one. By his side there still are the energetic trumpeter Alex Sipiagin – here composer of two songs too – and the skilful saxophonist Robert Bonisiolo, both precious and tested adventure companions who, together with Michele, are also the only musicians who appear in all the nine tracks (Arise, the tenth, is a short and delicate guitar solo). «Full Score» is a deep and sincere record, varied and extremely coherent at the same time. If the start with Short Wave is burning to say the least, the atmosphere turns softer and rarefied in Letter to Evans, dedicated to Bill Evans; another successful tribute is paid to Jim Hall with One for Hall. Michele Calgaro said about his work: “My writing almost always comes from interior aesthetics and stories, conceived for improvisation: a delicate balance, a stimulus for a collective story that also allows the expression of each identity, where the actions of interpretation and impromptu are the true substance of the songs… The luck of being able to walk these paths together with extraordinary musicians, who manage to naturally combine intensity and relaxation, is a priceless value added, and being able to impress some of these moments in a record makes the results of this surprising creative process repeatable and shareable to me…”.
