One of the more recent recordings by Gianluigi troves took place at Rome's Casa del Jazz as was issued by Palaexpo as part of its jazz italiano live 2007 series [02]. On this recording, Gianluigi is once again joined by his rhythm section stalwarts Marco Micheli on bass, Vittorio Marinoni on drums and Fulvio Maras on percussion and synthesizers. He is also engagingly reunited with his old friend, trumpeter Enrico Rava, who manages to add "another voice" on some of the tracks.
This is a concert full of variety: from the easy flowing opening Canzoncina; to the bass clarinet trumpet duet the that Trovesi & Rava play on Django to the accompaniment of Micheli's bass and Cecchetto's chorded guitar; or the Reggae-beat of Campanello Cammellato; the dual drumming poly-rhythms that Marinoni and Maras lay down behind a call-and-response duet between Trovesi's alto and Cecchetto's guitar on Disparietto/Siparietto; the church music, pipe organ overtones of Ricercar Vaghezza; or the sub-Saharan 6/8 rhythms that Marinoni lays down behind Trovesi's bass clarinet on Gargantella; or the blisteringly fast Noporiatto with combines elements of both Ornette Coleman and Charlie Mingus music and culminates in an awesome display of drumming by Marinoni.
