LA QUARTA VITTIMA

This album is like a jewel box with various gems inside.From the intricate jazz topaz to baroque pearls, Fabio Zuffanti skillfully created a dark, gloomy, but sometimes iridescent necklace with these gems. The fourth track 'La Quarta Vittima' baldly demonstrated the future dimension of this Italian master composer. You hear the essence of Zuffanti's past production scattered elsewhere throughout this album. Still, the overall impression is refreshing and shows the new direction for all musicians participated. The variety of the guest musicians are worthy to note. His fellow musicians from Hostsonaten and La Maschera di Cera did their 'usual' master works; in addition global jazz musicians added a flair of 'gorgeous' jazzy mood. I recommend to listen to this album in sequence to appreciate the climax and the chilling down at the epilogue to find the 'answer' to the question of the opening track.
