Franco Baggiani – “Memories of Always”
Franco Baggiani’s new album is titled “Memories of Always”. His newest work is an echo of the funky mid-70s sound a la Miles Davis, among others. “While the overall structure maintains somewhat of a 1970s Davis-like essence, in this album I looked beyond that – at the 70s in general, of course, but not only to Davis, also to Ornette and Sun Ra, and found inspiration listening to Alfredo Casella and to certain Italian serial composers from the past century. If the starting point may appear to be Davis-like, the final outcome certainly is not”. Smoldering, magmatic, swirling sounds: 7 long studio tracks, created by the nods, looks, intuitions, collective flights and solo meditations of a 7-element ensemble.
