About album

Gleam Records is proud to announce the release of My Inner Child, the first album as a leader by the Italian pianist & composer Giuseppe Magagnino, available on CD and digital download/streaming from July 1st, 2022 and distributed by IRD International and Believe Digital. The album release will be preceded by the 2 singles release on digital platforms, “My Inner Child” on May 13th 2022 and “Mi Vida” on June 10th 2022.
With the project MAG Trio was born the solo path of the jazz pianist Giuseppe Magagnino, a project that took its first steps in 2018 and that has waited to have the right artistic dimension and concreteness of sound and training to be able to fully express themselves. It was thanks to the first lockdown of 2020 that Giuseppe was able to clearly outline the concept of his recording work and realize from then on the project putting together compositions born in 2020/2021 and songs written between 2017 and 2019.
“My Inner Child” is a journey of the author back in time, in his childhood; a moment that led him to intimate reflections on the playful approach to music and the instrument, that tends to get lost with the beginning of professional activity when expectations and tensions “dirty” curiosity, momentum and enthusiasm typical of the first experiences.
“My Inner Child” is an invitation to contact more often, even in adulthood, our inner child.
In this first work as a leader the Italian pianist explores the potential of the piano trio and leaves room for small piano tastings only trying to pour into writing and performances all of himself and the experience of listening and studying the great pianists who in the last 65 years have been a reference for him and for the new generations of musicians and jazz fans.
All the compositions on the album tell the story of his life. They were born on the spot, spontaneously, and Giuseppe chose not to revise or refine and writing, too much his writing, so that authenticity might be preserved. Just like children do.
In Giuseppe’s style, hints of the Afro-American jazz tradition combine with the sound and arrangements typical of north European jazz and with a strong melodic component, characteristic of the great Italian music.

Reviews:

"Profondità melodica, improvvisazione tematica, sapienza armonica, varietà ritmica contribuiscono ad un album che esprime qualità, ricerca interiore, personalità, coralità. Il globalizzato linguaggio del jazz sa rifiorire ad ogni latitudine."

- Luigi Onori

"　ディスクをスタートさせた瞬間から、澄み切って煌びやかな音色と陰影に富んだタッチのピアノに惹きつけられる。アルバムの主は、レッチェ音楽院でクラシック・ピアノを、バーリ音楽院でジャズを学んだ後に、ピア・ナルシソ・マッシとステファノ・ボラーニのふたりに師事したイタリア人ピアニスト、ジュゼッペ・マガニーノ。今年45歳を迎えた彼が満を持して放つ1st作は、少年時代のピュアな心を題材にしたコンセプチュアルなアルバム。イタリアン・ジャズのメロディアスな要素と北欧ジャズのリリシズムが溶け合った美しいジャズが盤面いっぱいに広がる。(早田和音) "From the moment you start listening to the album, you are attracted to the piano with its crystal clear and brilliant tone and rich touch. The album features Giuseppe Maganino, an Italian pianist who studied classical piano at the Lecce Conservatoire and jazz at the Bari Conservatoire. This year, at the age of 45, his first album is a conceptual album based on the pure heart of his childhood. The melodious elements of Italian jazz and the lyricism of Scandinavian jazz are blended together to create a beautiful jazz scene. "

- JazzLife Magazine (Kazune Hayata)

"(...)In Giuseppe Magagnino non si tratta tanto di una ricerca sintattica nella grammatica del Jazz; lui sembra cercare, piuttosto, la libertà attraverso una connessione profonda con l’attimo presente, con tutti i rischi che questo comporta. (...)Una bella prova di maturità per un trio giovane e per un pianista di cui possiamo facilmente prevedere un futuro luminoso.
