The soundtrack of the docufilm “The last beat” by Director Ferdinando Vicentini Orgnani continues the collaboration begun several years ago with Paolo Fresu.
The musical analysis of the trumpeter alongside his now trusted new trio with Dino Rubino and Marco Bardoscia manages to offer – especially on live occasions-deep perspectives around a theme as beautiful and discussed as that of the much loved beat generation.
To enlarge the sound plateau was then called Daniele Di Bonaventura whose bandoneon manages to give deep pictorial nuances.

Cultivated rereadings and pearls of European musical history make up the jazz album for connoisseurs that is Two Minuettos, the third one made together by Paolo Fresu and Uri Caine, who occasionally take the luxury of a collaboration that goes beyond the simple musical question ; the album is in fact a dissertation on grace, elegance, the beauty of music, in a journey that ranges from Bach to Gershwin, from Mahler to Lauzi and Lennon, passing through the figure of Barbara Strozzi. And to add atmosphere to the superb choice of songs, the fact of live performance; it is in fact a live, recorded on the occasion of the three Milanese concerts that the duo held at the Teatro dell’Elfo from 27 February to 1 March 2015.

Paolo Fresu is one of today’s most gifted and well-known trumpeters. He counts Miles Davis and Chet Baker among his primary influences, and his own unique sound and music are at once clear, brilliant and joyful. Fresu founded the Devil Quartet in 2004 together with three fantastic musicians and close friends – guitarist Bebo Ferra, bass player Paolino Dalla Porta and drummer Stefano Bagnoli. In keeping with the Quartet’s name, “Desertico”, is devilishly inventive and beautiful. Consisting of original compositions – except for a captivating version of “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” and a poignant version of “Blame It On My Youth” – the album is infused with a delightful blend of serenity and jubilation.

With 850,000 volumes, 120,000 old books and a collection of 7,500 newspapers, the Municipal Library of the Archiginnasio of Bologna is a place steeped in history. It was here, in early 2021, that Paolo Fresu decided to celebrate his own history. For his 60th birthday, the Sardinian trumpet player gathered a handful of relatives for an exceptional concert, obviously without an audience. Together with bandoneonist Daniele di Bonaventura, pianist Dino Rubino, double bassist Marco Bardoscia and the Alborada Quartet, he wandered through various rooms in this magnificent library performing pieces in his own style. A colourful and hybrid jazz, European at heart and always strolling around. Without ever being a birthday retrospective with the feel of a funeral, Musica da Lettura shows above all the extent of Fresu’s genius: an avid researcher and passer-by, capable of drawing on popular musical traditions from cinema, literature, classical or folk music and, of course, jazz… The repertoire of this album (available exclusively on Qobuz) mixes popular songs and themes speckled with electronic effects, to underline the distance between the history of the venue and the contemporaneity of the sounds. On El Ciego, the European tradition intertwines with Latin America. On Notte a San Stino, an almost new age composition that he performs alone, Fresu interweaves several takes of his instrument. And to further extend the field of possibilities, he draws his inspiration from Strauss’ Metamorphoses, which he bathes in a solemnity inherited from Rossini. Chamber music or futuristic, nostalgic or groovy, meditative or dreamy, nothing is missing from this fiesta between friends… But the essence of this magnificent album lies in the organic and human character of the music. Despite the literary references and multiple influences, Paolo Fresu’s trumpet remains a simple and beautiful language that speaks to the heart. A language brought alive by the bond he enjoys with his fellow musicians, all in tune with this anniversary that one would dream of endlessly… – Marc Zisman
