Info for Quietly

This album, which brings together melodic and singable tracks from Brazil, Canada and the United States represents the third record release (together with 'Pinocchio e altri Racconti' and 'Incontro', for Abeat Records) by this singular band that sees Zambrini's introspective piano confronting and playing with the double bass and drums of two imaginative and unpredictable Danish jazz musicians, Bodilsen and Andersen.

The compositions, improvisations and re-interpretations of the elegant and eclectic Milanese pianist Antonio Zambrini, in tune with his passion for cinema (realised in the collaboration with the Cineteca di Milano for which he has realised the soundtrack of numerous silent films), are the expression of an irrepressible need to tell and recount oneself that finds its main road in an inexhaustible melodic vein. And as already demonstrated by the two albums he has already made with Bodilsen and Andersen, this narrative need finds its way to enrichment in the relationship with two musicians representing the jazz soul of a country like Denmark, which has been hosting the Copenhagen Jazz Festival, one of Europe's largest and most important jazz events, since the late 1970s.
