Michel Bisceglia & Carlo Nardozza - Eleven

Styles: Piano And Trumpet Jazz

(8:36)  7. Tunisia

Two Italian-born Limburg, Belgian-Italian Belgian pianist Michel Bisceglia and trumpet blower Carlo Nardozza presented a piano / trumpet duet collaboration on an album titled Eleven. Worked closely, this release contains seven compositions that display the two instrument dialogues in detail. Beginning "Bosonic" through the prefix of a resitative piano which then plays the trumpet, the ballad number goes smoothly and the next is Vince Mendoza 's "Scriabin" of a similar nuance. On the title track "Eleven," Carlo becomes a spokesperson through an attractive blow, while Michel provides a coherent harmony structure. Playing duet formations without sexy rhythm is not an easy thing, it takes a high musical sensitivity to get rid of the risky boring spaces. But both seem to overcome, see "Unknown" which is full of spontaneity as well as the looping technique layer in "Loop It or Leave It," singly played by Carlo melting elements of Mediterranean sound, Balkans to New Orleans. The introduction of the virtuosic trumpet breaks the silence over the last numbered "Tunisian" dish even though its rhythm is quite energetic than any other track, by Michel's finger dance. Not to forget the album also lists a composition for a single piano, entitled "Prova 42" is silent, flowing smooth and poetic. http://www.wartajazz.com/review/2014/06/07/michel-bisceglia-carlo-nardozza-eleven

”Michel Bisceglia’s artistry, prowess and vocabulary at the piano delivers a well versed slant on the traditions of modern jazz. He has taken an astute look at all the masters of his instrument and developed a uniqueness, all his own. I highly recommend the Michel Bisceglia trio. Our audience loved him.” ~ John Nugent - Rochester International Jazz Festival

Pianist, composer and arranger Michel Bisceglia is one of the most important and most vigorous musicians from Belgium. As a composer and musician he worked with jazz icons such as Randy Brecker, Bob Mintzer, Toots Thielemans and Dewey Redman. He was also nominated twice as Best Belgian Musician of the year, in 1999 and 2002. Only rarely this trio finds the time to perform their exquisite music live on stage. Michel Bisceglia took his time to develop his most personal project. Since 1997 he recorded only five albums with his trio, but they played worldwide on famous jazz festivals such as the Rochester International Jazzfestival (USA), Jarasum International Jazz Festival (South Korea), Hong Kong International Jazz Festival (HK) the Guimaraes Jazz Festival (Portugal) with Dewey Redman Quartet, Ulverston Music Festival in the UK. Each one of those five albums is an absolute masterpiece. As Michel Bisceglia describes it himself: “They are exercises in subtilized meditations on intangible melodies.” A typical characteristic of Michel Bisceglia is working with artists outside the jazz world. His most notable coproduction in this regard was released with the famous Belgian DJ Buscemi on Blue Note Records. http://www.michelbisceglia.org/bio/
