The new double album by Roberto Ottaviano, Resonance & Rhapsodies, is a challenge addressed to the entire world of Italian jazz (and beyond), which has long been based on a very fashionable musical practice, sick with stereotypes and assorted niceties. Continuing on the path already traced in his previous records, Sideralis and Eternal Love, the saxophonist from Bari continues to search for a meaning for his making music in a difficult and intriguing quadrature of rigor and passion. Recovering the desire for gambling from the season of utopias of the Sixties and Seventies (John Coltrane, Steve Lacy, Keith Tippett and the English scene) but immersing it in a burning and disenchanted topicality together with his splendid companions in adventure, Octavian gives shape to a necessary music, which gives and at the same time demands attention and "presence" from its listeners. Not a pastime, in short, but something to be absorbed perhaps in headphones, taking all the time necessary, rediscovering a civilization of listening today shattered between streaming pills, mobile phones and social networks. Published by the Dodicilune label, for which Ottaviano has recorded since 2008, Resonance & Rhapsodies is a double album entrusted half to the Eternal Love quintet and half to the Extended Love octet. In both at the top there are Ottaviano's saxophones and Marco Colonna's clarinets, which integrate perfectly. The piano flashes between Ellington and Taylor of the faithful Alexander Hawkins and the acid tones of Giorgio Pacorig's fender rhodes, the basses of Giovanni Maier and Danilo Gallo, the drums of Zeno De Rossi and Hamid Drake shine. An hour and forty of original music in which to get lost and find yourself, between the intense chamber music of the octet and the fire of the quintet.
