Phil Abraham (trombone), Steven Delannoye (tenor & soprano sax),Igor Gehenot
(piano), Sal La Rocca (double bass) & Umberto Odone (drums) Sal La Rocca is a
major bassist of the Belgian and European scene. He is the guardian of actual
hard bop and post bop, solid and strong. He’s a protector of a mainstream jazz
that knows how to reinvent itself, look forward and jostle with the ordinary
while respecting fundamentals. Alongside his old accomplice Phil Abraham at the
trombone, he’s gathered a new guard of spirited and talented jazz musicians.
Nothing beats this ensemble in blowing up an already energetic music, and
melodies full of sensitivity. On stage, the incandescent saxophonist Steven
Delannoye responds to the attacks of pianist Igor Gehenot, while, behind his
‘barrels,’ Umberto Odone beats skins and cymbals. It’s incredible! Sal’s jazz is
pleasure in its purest form: good mood that travels along the stage and spills
into the audience. It’s a jazz slightly tainted by Latin or Caribbean choruses,
but also a jazz full of demands (it remains a music born out of struggles)
turned towards optimism. If you don’t like this kind of jazz, then you don’t
like life. You’re welcome. VIDEO LINK :
