Barracina - da Barra, the densely populated district of Naples -
collect some original music of jazz Mariano di Nunzio. A special
tribute to the tradition and culture expressed through music Neapolitan
opera which is the syncretism, memories, valuable shards of sound
materials. The songs are in fact divided into three suites reminiscent
of seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in which converge a variety of
styles ranging from traditional Neapolitan folk and cultured, and the
forms of modern jazz and contemporary.
It happens, so that the "Tammuriata (drums), giustappunto a
Tammuriata, they become" drums "and that the time of a ternary or
vigorous 2 / 4 of a polka, as well as some recognition of the same
melodic quotations Neapolitan tradition, going to dissolve into swing,
funk, or, more frequently, in dried form rhythmic fragmentary melos in a
more timely than ever jazz and avant-garde.
The training trio (trumpet / flugelhorn, bass and drums) does
not, in its essence, frills or special effects, but makes it fully
intelligible inventions and intentions: revisit, that is, in a jazz
style, in a less rhetorical possible, a musical universe (and not just
music) that precisely in the encounter and merging of different cultures
has created its own history.
