Russ Lossing: Alternative Side Parking Music

Oltre a riflettere la musica del proprio tempo, i progetti dei jazzisti sono direttamente collegati alla quotidianit�� delle loro esistenze.

Paradigmatica �� in tal senso la scrittura per questo CD, pensata durante le ore impiegate da

Russ Lossing

piano
b.1960

" data-original-title="" title="">Russ Lossing per parcheggiare la propria automobile nei giorni in cui la sosta �� consentita in un solo lato della strada. E non �� un caso se lo spigoloso brano d'apertura, quasi monkiano, evoca con il suo andamento asimmetrico la strada percorsa avanti/indietro in cerca dell'agognato Graal, il parcheggio.

Dalla lezione monkiana il quartetto di Lossing parte verso un territorio avventuroso fatto di fosche trame, modalit�� d'avanguardia sia jazzistiche sia eurocolte sino ad accogliere le sperimentazioni elettroniche. Ne discende una musica energica ed efficace, da parte di un musicista coerentemente proiettato verso soluzioni di non facile lettura ma coraggiosamente originali. Vi prevale una logica quasi cubista, che sostiene il linguaggio asciutto ed ellittico del leader.
