In questo progetto musicale di Oscar Hansson (piano) partecipano anche i nostri insegnanti Augusto Gentili (bass) e Massimiliano Varotto (drums).
Un invito all'ascolto...
The songs on the Recycled album were recorded in two sessions at Groove House in Gallarate, Italy, in 2019, exclusively for promotional purposes. However, Augusto (Gentili - bass) wrote me a letter last autumn asking why we didn't release this album, and I thought it was a good idea and started working on the recordings again. Luckily Massimiliano (Varotto - drums) also liked the idea and even one of his collages became the cover.
The basic concept of the trio was to play pop-rock songs as if they were jazz standards. This later changed as some songs were reharmonized (Like a Virgin, Tainted Love, The House Of Rising Sun, Eleanor Rigby, Walking In Your Footsteps), or other songs were just an attempt to capture the mood rather than following the melody or song lines (No Quarters, Black Hole Sun, Wake Up), or a mix of the two (War Pigs, How Many More Times).
But in any case, we hope you like this album as much as we do.
