FRANCESCO GUAINA QUARTET - Unsaid Songs
Workin Label
Francesco Guiana (guitar), Alessandro Presti (trumpet and flugelhorn), Luca Lo Bianco (acoustic and electronic bass), Fabrizio Giambanco (drums)
This is a quietly spoken recording that displays lots of interesting inter-play mostly between the guitar and trumpet.
At first I really enjoyed the careful complexity of the sound which has been very carefully crafted. However after repeated listening some of the tracks seemed to lack punctuation with the sound beginning to fade into the background.
Unsaid Songs tries to work with a soundscape that is suggestive of the mystery and uncertainty of things. If it is not always as successful as it might be this remains a work of considerable musical ambition. At its best it offers the listener a delicate hour of listening.
