| … Dem
eloquenten Fabio Martini begegnet man in seiner Haupteigenschaft
als Klarinettist auf INTRIO gleich in zwei Trios mit Bass
und Schlagzeug. (…) Hier herrscht radikale Reduktion in der
musikalischen Ästhetik, ein konzentrierter, introspektiver
Essenzialismus, bei dem jedes Ornament als ´Verbrechen´ ausscheidet.
Martini führt in dunkle Molltöne getauchte, nachdenklich brütende,
verträumte Selbstgespräche. (…) In diesem Zusammenhang scheinen
mir selbst Namen wie Giuffre und Ben Goldberg nicht zu hoch
gegriffen. |

Reviews
(…) On INTRIO Martini performs with two separate trios on
11 tracks. Martini is a skilled improvisor while performing
on BB clarinet and alto clarinet and displays a gorgeous tone
and churns out engagingly lyrical phrasing. His support follows
suit as this clarinet, bass and drums outing is of an exploratory
nature. (…) Excitingly captivating as these musicians vary
the intensity levels, partake in interesting dialogue and
capture the spirit of jazz modernism which is a long-standing
yet continually thriving art form in Italy.

Two separate
trio sets from one of Italy´s best-kept secrets, reed player
Fabio Martini. His ´Circadiana Clangori´ of last year (Leo
Lab CD 045) proved him to be an interesting composer for a
medium-sized ensemble of improvisers; here we find him in
a much more intimate, and more exposed, setting.
Martini is a lugubrious player with a slow, deliberate sense
of development. He seems to enjoy letting his notes swell
and grow. Unlike so many free reedsmen, he doesn´t feel the
need to play fast and furious; his concern seems to be to
keep the larger-scale musical movement underway, using long,
languorous phrases. (…) Rantzer plays mostly with the bow,
and his solo on ´Effrazione´ shows him to have a sinuous sound
which is (…) high on evolution and development. (…) Virzi´s
(…) seems to play individual beats, no riffs or fills; the
result seems disjointed, (…) but it works in this setting.
(…)
The second trio has, of course, some things in common with
the first; at least inasmuch as Martini is the leader, and
his approach hasn´t changed a great deal. Radaele is, however,
a much more ebullient percussionist that Virzi - not loud,
just busy, making a noisy-but-subdued backdrop to Martini´s
playing. Sciajno´s electronics help him out too. (…)
He has more of a basis in extended techniques that Rantzer
displays on the foregoing session. (..) Sciajno takes some
very nice solos (on ´The Red Tent´) in which he really seems
to revel in the bass´s bottom register. (…) ´Popgun´… sounds
distinctly like a Parker/Lytton/Guy piece. (…)
Fiftyseven minutes os nowhere long enough to get tired of
Martini´s ever-intelligent, almost discursive clarinet. The
two rhythm sections give the disc an added degree of variety.
(…) More, please. |

| (…) Martini
is a deep-thinking spiritualist who projects a pensive, brooding
mood with either his alto clarinet or Bb clarinet. His music
has an allusive semblance of flow to it, althoughit is devoid
of a song form or tangible baseline. |
