6. Michel Godard – “Una Serenita” Castel del Monte (Enja)

e69090avrkp.jpg

Michel Godard – tuba, serpent

Pino Minafra – trumpet, flugelhorn

Gianluigi Trovesi – alto saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet

Jean-Louis Matinier – accordion

Renaud Garcia-Fons – bass

Pierre Favre – drums, percussion

Lucilla Galeazzi – vocal

Linda Bsiri – vocal, trumpet marin

I wonder which instrument it is that I mistook for a violin .... :wacko:

Is it really "trumpet marin" on the liner? I know of one "tromba marina" which is a .stringed instrument from the baroque era:

Mike, it was much simpler: the bass fiddle ;)

Seriously: get an earful of this one:

And you will believe me in a minute! Fons is all over that bass, doing crazy stuff with it, and still it all makes musical sense. I haven't checked out the discs he put out after this one, but heard a live concert (on radio) of a trio of his with a flamenco guitarist and a percussionist - some quite beautiful music, too! And he, too, fits in with that mediterranean music.

"trompet marin" seems to be synonymous to "tromba marina", or "Trompetengeige"

But then Bsiri does not appear on that track, I think (need to check with the booklet), so it has to be Garcia-Fons, anyway.

Galeazzi is the singer, I know that since I checked this with the booklet back when I made my BFT notes. Don't think Bsiri is on this track (Favre, either, but again I'm going from memory, and also Minafra does not appear.)

I also thought it was viola. Quite amazing indeed.

Ordered two Garcia-Fons CDs.

I have heard Garcia-Fons, but the instrument in question does not sound like a bowed double bass ..... did you check the liner? I will order this anyway ...

Yup, no Minafra, Favre and Bsiri on that cut!

Also, if that adds any: I immediately recognized his fumbling madness when listening to the disc - I never saw him live, but have two of his "Oriental Bass" gigs (Willisau and Zurich/jazznojazz, from 2001 and 2000, respectively), that studio disc, plus the trio set I mentioned before, and it was clear that it was him.

Of course he also appears on the Trovesi Midsummernight's Dream disc (that I love a lot) - for those live gigs he was mostly replaced by Giovanni Maier, but he made the "Jazz'n'more" in Munich, in June 2000.

Trovesi can be heard improvising along with a renowned baroque ensemble on this CD:

Whoever liked track 6 might find this appealing just as well, a little more subdued, but a unique experiment. (Link)
