Italian jazz musicians hardly get a fair hearing in the New World, as they are reviewed infrequently by American jazz magazines and barely heard at all on jazz radio in the United States. But the tiny Philology label has done an excellent job of recording many talented players who call Italy home, including this 2003 concert by pianist and composer Giovanni Mazzarino. Leading a strong quintet with trumpeter Fabrizio Bosso (who appears on many Philology CDs) and tenor saxophonist Francesco Bearzatti, Mazzarino kicks off his set with the furious "Herbie," showcasing smoking solos by all three men. The tribute "Charlie Mingus" opens with a long but thoughtful unaccompanied solo by Bearzatti, while he continues to play a prominent role as the rest of the band enters. This emotional piece is complementary to Mingus' style of writing, also featuring a fine bass solo by Stefano Senni. The pianist really stretches out in the Latin-flavored "Beautiful Child." One could easily imagine any post-bop group devouring whole the delightful "The Cyclone" on the bandstand, as does Mazzarino's quintet. Mazzarino's arrangement of Tom Harrell's "Visions of Gaudi" is also remarkable for its subtle interaction between the musicians in the ensembles, along with terrific solos by Mazzarino and Senni. All in all, this is a very rewarding live CD.
