Alessandro Garau, Gianluca Corona & Sebastiano Dessanay - Rebis

Italian jazz trio of drummer Alessandro Garau, guitarist Gianluca Corona and bassist Sebastian Dessanay, who perform a powerful programme of original compositions by Garau.

Alessandro Garau: drums
Gianluca Corona: guitar
Sebastiano Dessanay: bass

An Italian trio that plays in a lively American style but brings in lots of European rhythms and melodies. Marizianetti could be the twangy theme to an Italian spy movie while the other pieces build on dark dancing and waltzing grooves that provide a fine arena for Sebastiano Dessanay's thick, chugging bass; Gianluca Corona's springy guitar; and Alessandro Garau's gilding drums to mix it up. They often sound like the Gateway Trio with its face turned toward Europe. - Jerome Wilson, Cadence

This is a fine jazz trio playing the drummer's compositions, written over a long period of time. Interesting that the drummer writes pieces that often feature the guitarist and bassist so much, both getting quite a bit of solo space. However it is often the intricate nature of these pieces that make them so interesting. What this trio does best is create atmospheric songs that seem to glide over Alessandro's subtle and spacious drums. - Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery
