New compositions by Pietro Ballestrero, a piece by Aldo Mella - a bassist with whom the trio collaborated for a while - and a couple of improvisations flow lightly in this CD, immediately leaving behind melodies with a strong Mediterranean character. With essential arrangements, the music creates space for the intense rhythmic games of Franciscone and for the always exuberant and imaginative phrasing of Danilo Pala, all blended together by the harmonies and arpeggios of the guitar, which skillfully avoid the risk of emptiness given by the absence of the double bass. The result is a design characterized by bright colors, spaces, dynamics, where the deep emotional research and the effort to get closer to the most visceral aspects of playing correspond to the intent to find the maximum communication with the listener.
