A record seems to mark a milestone in the career of drummer Aldo Romano. This is the one he recorded in duet, in Italy, with the bassist Jean-François Jenny-Clark, that is to say Il Piacere , musical illustration of the world of Pavese and the Latin of the musician more obvious than ever. It was in 1979, that is to say a year at the same time as the one where he integrated the French label Owl managed by Jean-Jacques Pussiau. Therefore, his records will take, at least for a few years, a less specifically jazz turn (he will return) as on Night Diary or Alma Latina . His friends are at his side (Jenny-Clark, Bartholomew, Portal, Lockwood, Jasper Van't Hoff), while here, it is his old guitarist partner Philippe Catherine and young musicians he discovered who second him , including Benoît Wideman and Jean-Pierre Fouquey. 

There, there are no traces of free jazz practiced during the years of learning with Gato Barbieri and Don Cherry. The binary rhythms have been integrated. And, above all, the composer reveals himself progressively. ~ Hervé Comte http://www.letriton.com/artistes/albums/album-alma-latina-763
