About album

New Things, Same Words, the second album of the Italian pianist Angelo Mastronardi, is now available worldwide and in digital stores, produced by GleAM Records. In line with the former work, “New Things, Same Words” reveals in its title the key elements for the interpretation of the author’s concept map, referring to originality as a combination of preexisting elements. Melodic spontaneity is combined with structural research. The recording includes all original compositions written by the italian pianist except for track 6, written by Emanuele Coluccia. For the first time the author introduces new instruments like Fender Rhodes (tracks 3, 4), soprano saxophone (tracks 1, 2) and tenor saxophone (tracks 3, 5, 6, 7). The harmonic language is more complex, quite in opposition to the simple and cantabile melodies, that however hide sophisticated rythmic textures and unusual metric solutions, in line with the research started by the pianist in his former album. Improvisations reveal the influence of the new American avant –garde and the jazz tradition with a typical European sensibility for sound, space and dynamics.

Reviews:

"The pianist released a new album in 2017 called New Things, Same Words. It’s a solid straight-ahead session, and sounds like it could source from NYC as easily as the pianist’s Gioia del Colle, Italy home turf. It’s got a free-flowing lyricism that displays plenty of activity, but keeps it tightly focused… Discover more on: https://www.birdistheworm.com/probably-a-good-idea-to-check-out-these-two-releases-from-angelo-mastronardi/"

- BirdisTheWorm (Dave Sumner)

"Fedele alla linea del jazz più moderno, capace di trovare i suoni più dinamici ma rispettoso dei moduli sperimentati delle ballads, questo lavoro a nome del pianista Angelo Mastronardi si presenta compatto nella proposta di sette tracce legate da un filo conduttore e nella solidità dei musicisti(..)un suono aperto ed avvolgente, un senso del lirismo non comune),(...)notevole duttilità del pianista, evidentemente dotato di grande qualità ma abile a condividere gli spazi con i compagni di viaggio(...)New Things, Same Words si completa in modo circolare raccogliendo in sé gli estratti essenziali e vitali del jazz, ottima prova di un quartetto di assoluta eccellenza"."

- Jazz Convention (Sergio Spada)

"Mastronardi può vantare dalla sua una bella sensibilità per le scomposizioni ritmiche e l'interplay dei musicisti del gruppo, una vena compositiva interessante e un gusto per l'oggi che guarda anche in altre direzioni "

- Corriere della Sera (Fabrizio Versienti)

"Temi proposti, sempre cantabili, capaci di disegnare quadri sonori che oscillano tra dinamiche timbriche accentuate e passaggi ballad. "

- JAZZIT magazine (Eugenio Mirti)

"Questo secondo capitolo firmato dal pianista e compositore Angelo Mastronardi segue la traiettoria tracciata con il promettente esordio “Like At The Beginning” pubblicato per Dodicilune nel 2014 e distribuito da I.R.D.
