Di Gianni Coscia - Frescobaldi Per Noi

The jazz world has looked at other times to authors of the Renaissance and early Baroque, but not Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583/1643), the great Ferrarese composer who was one of the greatest organists of the history of Western music and a composer rare clarity even in the most intricate polyphonic elaboration.

Just from the music of Frescobaldi came the suggestions for harmonics calculations that allow the soloists to "enter" in the music and carve out spaces of improvisation, both melodic ideas underlying the original compositions. Coscia, who devoted three titles to date to the birth and death of the great 17th century artist and one year of publication of his famous collection titled Fiori Musicali.

Here Gianni Coscia joins Bassist Enzo Pietropaoli for this release recorded at Studio Vocabolo San Martino di Todi.
