HANDFUL OF SOUL (Mario Biondi) - 2006

Da sempre sono appassionato di jazz, anche se raramente mi è capitato di postare in questo blog un disco di tale genere musicale (una volta o due, se ricordo bene). Così oggi ho deciso di proporre l'album d'esordio di Mario Biondi, artista siciliano non conosciuto ed apprezzato come dovrebbe (secondo me).
"Handful of soul" propone dodici brani all'insegna del soul, blues e jazz, con accenni a ritmi sudamericani. Accompagna Biondi il quintetto "High Five".
Voto personale: Distinto.

I've always been fond of jazz, even though I have rarely posted jazz albums in this blog (only once or twice, if I'm not mistaken). So, I have decided today to post the debut album by Mario Biondi, the Sicilian musician who has, in my opinion, been somehow underrated so far.
"Handful of soul" contains twelve songs blending soul, blues and jazz music, with hints at latin sounds. All songs were recorded by Mario Biondi and his "High Five" quintet.
My personal mark: Fairly good.
