Idly couched on the confluence of progressive, jazz and "modern classical" experimentation lies "Diabolik e i Sette Nani", and it does not sound as you would expect from these few words. Don't imagine anything difficult, pretentious, or intellectual: just piano and saxophone (or clarinet, sometimes). Placid and spontaneous - even a bit tipsy, I dare say. No apparent direction: the tracks are just take-it-as-it-comes excursions through Satiesque impressions, free-jazz(y) improvisations, and facetious melodic quotations. The overall spirit might remind Robert Wyatt, but the most close comparison I can think about is the lazy melancholy of French avant-prog project ZNR (for the few ones which actually knew them).
Massimo Giuntoli and Roberto Meroni are both from Milan, where they still live and play today.
Tracklist:
- I racconti di Canterbury
- Mastro Antonio
- Tre movimenti per pianoforte
- Diabolik e i sette nani
- Lothrorien
nb. The first four tracks are grouped together in one single file
