Saxophonist Gianni Basso and pianist Renato Sellani, Piemontese octogenarians, pay retrospective homage on Body and Soul, caressing Swing Era favorites with devotion and delight, grace and poetry. Basso models his brimming, avuncular style on Coleman Hawkins, complete with gruff, burly tone, nowhere more in evidence than on the pace-setting title track. Sellani approaches Teddy Wilson with a conservatory touch, discreetly tasteful and tidy, bubbling over but occasionally, as on "Watch What Happens". This Legrand tune, along with "Beyond The Sea" and Latin classics, give away their European bent. ~ Fred Bouchard  http://www.allaboutjazz.com/globe-unity-italy-gianni-basso-renato-sellani-norberto-tamburrino-and-giorgio-gaslini-by-fred-bouchard.php#.U2gHbiiS-PM
