Stefano di Battista - Basel 2004

Second one from the dime series for today, another alto player, but a pretty different one... hot music from some of Europe's brightest post-bop players or whatevelr label you prefer for this kind of music. Suffice to say I love every single member of this band: di Battista for his great sound (and Cannonball influence), Legnini because he's one of the most soulful piano players around these days, Bonaccorso for that true big sound he gets from his bass fiddle, and Ceccarelli just because, he he... pretty conventional from how it looks on paper nd all, but believe me, these guys set the music on fire!

And once again, look for the numbers to get the music!
