This is the edition for the Italian market of Volare, the album recorded in July 2002 by Stefano Bollani in a trio with Walter Paoli and Ares Tavolazzi, so far available on the Japanese record label Venus Records.
It is with this work that the pianist began to make himself known also in Japan, after his talent had attracted attention both in Italy and in Europe. An album that is conceptually very simple: it is a jazz reinterpretation of ten pieces representative of the Italian popular tradition, from "Azzurro" to "Anema e Core," famous in the world for the beauty and the immediate recognizability of their melodies. Supporting themes that the trio tries to keep intact, revolving around the emotional core with a series of improvisations and solutions that find Bollani a unique interpreter, inspired and in love with his way of understanding the instrument, which leads him to draw moments of tension in "Angela," create more lively and carefree situations in the initial "In search of you," but also to achieve ellipses of formal beauty in "Tema da la dolce vita". Among the moments of greatest intensity we should mention "Azzurro," since it is the passage where the trio's cohesion is felt most, unlike the other pieces where it is almost exclusively the figure of Bollani to be in the foreground.
Years later, the work retains its value and lets you listen with renewed pleasure, just because played with extreme ease and because of a repertoire - perhaps not excessively sought - able to pinch the right emotional rope with ease. ~AAJ Italy Staff (Translated from Italian.)
