"Tristesse and nostalgia are evoked with accordion and often highly effected guitar in this set from Fresh Sounds new world-music imprint. Italy is closer to home than most places one associates with world music. Also, the music quite often sounds like something Bill Frisell might do (but maybe Americana is world music too). In any event, a romantic European mood is created as the trio work through a number of Italian film themes by Morricone, Rota and others. Theres plenty of very good jazz soloing more than one finds on many so-called world jazz records, and Amore Per Tutti becomes a swinging blues. Best tune: Morricones odd-metre Il Clan Dei Siciliani - marvellous. Europe is exotic all right."
