Si accendono i riflettori su uno dei palchi canori e musicali più famosi d'Italia. Occasione importante, per una vita dignitosa e decorosa, per tante persone che contribuiscono, spesso con sacrificio, a tenere alta la storia e la cultura di un popolo. In modo infinitamente più piccolo e modesto, anche noi, teniamo accesi i riflettori sul palcoscenico, virtuale, della versione radiofonica di Jazz in Family. Sul nostro palco sfilano e si alternano, come sempre, alcune delle ultime novità del jazz italiano e mondiale. Ogni settimana proviamo a dare delle scosse agli spiriti stanchi o assopiti. Quando il jazz tocca le corde delle emozioni, per noi, è Spiritual - non limitandoci a classificare un jazz, ad esempio, come quello di Coltrane o Sun Ra. Per noi è spiritual anche l'esplosivo suono della chitarra di Corrado Rustici - con il suo caratteristico approccio elettronico e imitazioni di fusion, progressive e classica. E' spiritual il jazz sornione, scaltro e furbo, come quello della volpe, del REIS DEMUTH WILTGEN Trio. Ci "attizza" il jazz di Nick Walters, così come si "attizzava" Anna Marchesini di fronte "all'omo". E' spiritual anche quel jazz che ci fà sentire più raffinati e importanti come quello del Trio di Bill Cunliffe, Vinnie Colaiuta e John Patitucci, o del duo composto da Willie Nelson e Diana Krall. Sensazioni e emozioni sensoriali, come quello di Mafalda Minnozzi, o, propriamente, spirituali sono i momenti che cerchiamo e vogliamo regalare nell'ascolto delle nostre proposte musicali. Momenti che devono arricchire anche il nostro vocabolario e non impoverirlo in un solo termine, semmai fuorviante o non adatto. D'altra parte non vogliamo fare semantica, quindi ci fermiamo qui e buon ascolto, a tutti!!! Seguici su uno dei nostri profili social e scopri altro sul nostro sito:
