• PRESSRELEASE
Prodotto da Dodicilune, distribuito in Italia e all’estero da IRD e nei principali store online da BELIEVE DIGITAL, martedì 1 ottobre esce “Shorter Notes“, il nuovo CD del chitarrista, compositore, arrangiatore e didatta fiorentino Luca Gelli alla guida del suo Organ Trio con Manrico Seghi all’organo Hammond e Giovanni Paolo Liguori alla batteria. Il disco, un sentito omaggio alla musica del grande musicista e sassofonista americano Wayne Shorter (1933 – 2023) ospita in alcuni brani il sax baritono di Dario Cecchini, la tromba di Cosimo Boni, il sax tenore di Pierre Do Sameiro e il clarinetto di Nico Gori.
“L’idea di un progetto sulla musica di Wayne Shorter nasce poco prima della sua scomparsa, avvenuta agli inizi del 2023. Di lì a breve, mosso anche dalla grande emozione per una così grande perdita, prende forma concreta "Shorter Notes". Un omaggio alle sue composizioni risalenti alla metà degli anni '60, tra i grandi classici del suo repertorio, come "Speak No Evil" o "Yes Or No" ed anche altri brani meno eseguiti come "House Of Jade" o "Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum". Gli arrangiamenti originali esaltano il sound in stile "Blue Note" del mio trio insieme ai numerosi ospiti, in alcuni casi rispettando fortemente le versioni originali, in altri rimaneggiando ampiamente il materiale di partenza.” (Luca Gelli)

PRESSRELEASE
Produced by Dodicilune, distributed in Italy and abroad by IRD and in major online stores by BELIEVE DIGITAL, Tuesday, Oct. 1, sees the release of “Shorter Notes,” the new CD by Florentine guitarist, composer, arranger and teacher Luca Gelli leading his Organ Trio with Manrico Seghi on Hammond organ and Giovanni Paolo Liguori on drums. The disc, a heartfelt tribute to the music of the great American musician and saxophonist Wayne Shorter (1933 - 2023) features Dario Cecchini's baritone sax, Cosimo Boni's trumpet, Pierre Do Sameiro's tenor sax and Nico Gori's clarinet on some tracks.
"The idea of a project on the music of Wayne Shorter was born shortly before his death in early 2023. Shortly afterwards, moved by the great emotion of such a great loss, 'Shorter Notes' took concrete shape. It is a tribute to his compositions dating back to the mid-1960s, including the great classics of his repertoire such as 'Speak No Evil' or 'Yes Or No', as well as other lesser-performed pieces such as 'House Of Jade' or 'Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum'. The original arrangements enhance the 'Blue Note' style sound of my trio together with the numerous guests, in some cases strongly respecting the original versions, in others extensively reworking the source material".
