Angelini, Giovanni
Freedom Rhythm
Giovanni Angelini is not just any musician. It is enough to read the cornerstones of his curriculum to understand that we are dealing with an explorer, and also an omnivorous receptor of the most disparate experiences. His apprenticeship with Fabrizio Sferra is striking - Giovanni, of course, is a drummer - the masterclasses directed by people like Dave Douglas or Eric Harland, the degree from the Conservatory of Monopoli at the court of an always too misunderstood pianist, the brilliant and dear departed Gianni Le Noci. And the eclecticism of this second recording of his is striking, in which he engages with the composition and execution of complex structures - helped in this by high-profile - yet catchy musicians.
