Sardinian-born trumpeter Paolo Fresu and bandoneonist Daniele di Bonaventura from Fermo, Italy, indicated the depth of their musical understanding on 2010’s Mistico Mediterraneo, a collaboration with Corsican singers A Filetta. Left to their own resources they explore a very broad range of material which includes original ballads by both men, improvisations, a Puccini theme from La Boheme, liturgical music, pieces by legendary Chilean songwriter Victor Jara and Uruguayan singer-songwriter Jaime Roos, music of Neapolitan composer Ernesto de Curtis, “O que sera” by Brazil’s Chico Buarque and more. Daniele Di Bonaventura has spent much of his creative life bringing aspects of jazz and music of South American traditions together, and Paolo Fresu is one of the outstanding lyrical voices of contemporary improvising. When Fresu plays muted trumpet, he makes a point of bringing Miles Davis to mind; at such moments, Di Bonaventura’s bandoneon becomes a chamber orchestra behind a soloist. The relationship between the instruments is continually changing throughout this attractive programme, recorded in the warm and spacious acoustics of Lugano’s Auditorio Stelio Molo RSI in May 2014, and produced by Manfred Eicher. (The session itself has already achieved a measure of renown: scenes from it appear in the new documentary Wenn aus dem Himmel by Italian filmmaker Fabrizio Ferraro, which is currently making the rounds of the festivals.)
The softly muted trumpet introversion of Miles Davis and an opulent tone on flugelhorn have made Sardinian musician Paolo Fresu many friends – Carla Bley even dedicated an album to discovering him. This is the recorded debut of his collaboration with Italian bandoneon player Daniele di Bonaventura, a duo originally founded to back traditional Corsican vocal polyphony outfit A Filetta. It’s a definition of modern lyricism in its fusion of early-Miles pensiveness, the bandoneon’s warm embrace, and a mixture of originals and covers that sound like lullabies, love songs and valedictions. Di Bonaventura’s tranquil Da Capo Cadenza is built around drifting three-note figures, and a Breton lullaby ushers in Fresu’s Ton Kozh, in which jazz-trumpet phrases skip amid the turns and churns of the bandoneon. Chico Buarque’s deep-toned and tender O Que Sera gives way to the upbeat Chilean resistance song El Pueblo Unido Jamás Será Vencido, murdered Chilean songwriter Victor Jara’s Te Recuerdo Amanda is like a wistful spiritual, Quando Me’n Vo’, from La Bohème, is a gently tripping flugelhorn waltz. It’s the kind of ECM mix that seduces those preferring the directness of folk song or the elegant symmetries of classical music into the jazz camp. –John Fordham, Guardian
