About album

The Imaginary Roads is the second album by Italian drummer and composer Alessandro Campobasso and his quartet. Freely inspired by the “Invisible Cities” of Italo Calvino, this work aims to highlight the evocative and perceptive power of Jazz music and reveals a strong expressive urgency of the leader. In his musical research, tradition and contemporaneity converge in a writing that alternates open spaces and multi-thematic forms. The overall breath of the quartet and its open way of understanding the rhythmic drive embody well the idea of the journey with its encounters and its ripples. The texture of the pieces and their succession highlight a musical aesthetic in which storytelling is central, a narrative in which the written parts are entrusted to a strong customization of sound and sound space. Campobasso aims to drag the listener in a musical journey through multiple aesthetic, stylistic and compositional solutions, evoking the infinite “imaginary streets” that music allows. In this perspective there is a frame to the pieces, as in the “invisible cities”, that channels perceptions and connects evolution.

Reviews:

"«THE IMAGINARY ROADS», L’ALBUM DI ALESSANDRO CAMPOBASSO, UN VIAGGIO A TAPPE SULLE STRADE DELL’IMMAGINAZIONE (GleAM RECORDS 2022) «The Imaginary Roads», è un lavoro dotato di una notevole componente onirica, attratto dall universo delle «fantaparole», ma compensato dalla solidità esecutiva di musicisti, i quali non chiudono mai i cancelli della creatività, lasciando molte strade aperte: metaforicamente, tutte quelle strade immaginate, perse, presenti, passate e future.

- DoppioJazz Magazine (Francesco Cataldo Verrina)

"(...)Un Jazz che, in controtendenza con le derive più strutturate e scritte del jazz contemporaneo, ricerca invece sull’interazione e sul sound d’insieme. (...) Nelle sue totali 6 tracce, The Imaginary Roads si rivela un disco di grande coerenza narrativa nel quale il leader, attraverso i propri “percorsi immaginari” riesce a tracciare i contorni di un linguaggio contemporaneo.
