The young Italian double bass player Giuseppe Millaci has released his latest project, entitled “Vogue Trio” and his debut album “Songbook.” The album puts him alongside the French pianist Amaury Faye, who was influenced by Keith Jarrett and Brad Mehldau; and Belgian drummer Lionel Beuvens, who is in charge of spicing up the beat from the percussion section with his impeccable and extremely fine execution.
The sound is engulfed in a dark melancholic and velvety atmosphere. Nine tracks make up this album for a perfect 52-minute playing time.
The first track features ‘Nostalgia Op. 1‘, a bass introduction with a powerful sound. This composition has harmonic characteristics similar to Bill Evans.
‘Imagining The Fourth Dimension‘, a cliché of “Giant Steps,” as its title says, is imaginative and open to any possibility. The piano becomes the protagonist when executing fast and agile melodic lines, while being harmonically accompanied by the bass, as the percussion remains relaxed, but keeps the energy flowing.
In the third track is ‘Travel To,‘ a title that brings some mystery and curiosity to know where the group wants to take us. However, we will have to hear it to find out.
Then we enter into the ‘Unknown Land,‘ which probably answers the question posed in the previous track. This composition glows vividly through the freest improv variations. A few progressions of seventh and dissonant chords don’t hurt anyone either.
