Giancarlo Mazzu & Luciano Troja - Tasting Beauty

Following their selection of jazz standards on 'Live at the Metropolitan, NYC' (SLAMCD545), guitarist Giancarlo Mazzu and pianist Luciano Troja return with a selection of their original compositions on this their third album for SLAM.

The programme of ten originals represents a sort of travelogue on the musicians' experiences playing together over ten years, during which time they have actually produced eight CDs in duo, trio and quartet formats; a dedication to places, people and impressions that have inspired Giancarlo and Luciano over the years.

The music shows a true love for the jazz tradition, the spontaneous compositions, the song form and the blues; track 4, Qui pays homage to their roots in Southern Italy.

Personnel: Giancarlo Mazz� (guitar), Luciano Troja (piano)
