about

“ROUGH LINE”, the third album of the Italian pianist Angelo Mastronardi, is now available worldwide and in digital stores, produced by “GleAM Records” label and distributed by IRD International and Believe Digital.
After his second recording in quartet “NEW THINGS SAME WORDS” Angelo Mastronardi return to his Ideal setting, the piano trio, along with a new rhythm section, Rogers Anning (double bass) and Carmelo Miceli (drums).
“ROUGH LINE” reveals already in the title, a decisive and uncompromising imprint of the author. His consolidated passion for rhythmic research and odd times is now blended with neo-soul influences, fast swing times and a more massive use of fender rhodes and, in some cases, synthesizers.
His melodic language now combines risk and spontaneity with harmonious research and a strong post-bop background. The solos show a virtuosity in the language, until now not brought to light by the pianist.
The recording includes 6 original compositions written by the italian pianist, the american popular song “All Things You Are” (J.Kern/O. Hammerstein II) and the standard “Oleo” (S. Rollins).

PRESS&REVIEWS

"Rough Line è un disco eclettico che mette in mostra le diverse anime di Mastronardi: lo swing, il jazz rock, l'amore per il virtuosismo ma anche allo stesso tempo per la semplicità, il gusto per la sperimentazione e l'originalità molto ben combinati con la conoscenza della tradizione"
Eugenio Mirti su JazzEspresso

"Con “Rough Line”, prodotto dalla GleAM Records, Angelo Mastronardi, giunto alla sua terza fatica da leader, dimostra uno stile pianistico originale e maturo e una solida sensibilità compositiva, capace di far convivere in modo equilibrato tradizione e sperimentazione"
Fabio Caruso - JAZZIT Magazine

(...) Il pugliese Angelo Mastronardi, pianista under 40 che fa la spola tra Roma e il Salento, un paio di album all’attivo da leader, sembra avere le idee chiare sulla funzione della sua Gleam. Il progetto è lavorare sul groove e sul suono del jazz italiano, dandogli un’aura più internazionale e in sintonia con i tempi, ma controllando ogni fase della produzione. In effetti, il suo nuovo cd da leader, Rough Line, è basato sul ritmo, su un’aggressività che fa la spola tra hard bop (Oleo di Sonny Rollins) e sonorità funky anni Settanta, oggi più che mai trendy (l’inizialeAll in My Hands); fender rhodes e mini-moog si alternano al pianoforte sulla solida ritmica di Rogers Anning, che usa contrabbasso e basso elettrico, e Melo Miceli alla batteria"
Fabrizio Versienti - Corriere della Sera
