Description:

This hugely enjoyable and highly inventive album is dedicated to the late Umberto Eco, a lifelong friend of accordionist Gianni Coscia and an ardent champion of this particular duo. Ecoâ??s The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loanna, a meditation on the nature of memory, inspires Trovesi and Coscia on their own nostalgic and exploratory journey, referencing music mentioned in the novel and free-associating upon its philosophical themes. As ever, the Italians cast a wide net, playing songs associated with Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller and George Formby, paraphrasing JanÃ¡Äek, dipping into movie music, and improvising most creatively while keeping their dedicatee in view. Repertoire revisits â??Interludioâ?, a piece that Umberto Eco and Gianni Coscia collaborated on 70 years ago, and Gianluigi Trovesi crafts a new composition on the letters of Ecoâ??s name. From multiple perspectives, a brilliant tribute. - .. DELLA REGINA LOANA / FT. GIANNI COSCIA
