FROM EMILIA... Ars Antiqua World Jazz Ensemble, folk jazz from Ferrara... Ars Antiqua World Jazz Ensemble is a
project that took form in Ferrara in 2021 on the initiative of director
and composer Roberto Manuzzi, teacher at the Ferrara Conservatory, with
the help of some colleagues and students. In 2022 the ensemble
self-released an interesting debut album, entitled L’amore è una fiamma
(Love is a flame), with a wide line up featuring Roberto Manuzzi (sax),
Rachele Amore (vocals, percussion), Stefano Melloni (clarinet, flutes),
Erica Ruggiero (acoustic and electric piano, harpsichord, backing
vocals), Raffaele Guandalini (double bass, electric bass), Stefano
Guarisco (drums), Davide La Rosa (electric and acoustic guitar), Pietro
Boarini (electric guitar), Davide Zabbari (viola da gamba), Fausto
Negrelli (vibraphone, percussion), Antonio Stragapede (mandolin) plus
the guests Ares Tavolazzi (double bass - historic member of Area) and
Paola Tagliani (piano). The aim of the musicians involved in this
project was mixing classical and folkloric influences with jazz and
electric instruments. In some way, they tried to do with Medieval music
what The Pentangle did with British folk and the result is an excellent
album that contains original compositions by Roberto Manuzzi on poems by
artists of the thirteenth century as well as some modern arrangements
of Medieval scores and songs from the Sephardic Jewish tradition... You can listen to their debut album entitle L'amore è una fiamma here: More info: Edited by andrea - December 27 2022 at 12:38 |

Hi,
Drift Lab Surprisingly enough the one thing I heard several times, was the one that might sound "conventional" and it has a lot of "look ma, I'm doing a solo!", but somehow, the quality of the totality of the music is excellent, and these folks are tight, and know what they are doing ... quite enjoyable. Though I'm from the progressive school that you don't have to make space for that solo for ma to hear! Just solo ... if you have to, and don't worry about a special spot being made just for you! Nice stuff ... and well played! These guys ain't no beginners, although their composition is a bit on the conventional jazz style of the late 60's. Very California, I thought! Gosh ... gotta hear that again!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
