Our Take

London-based jazz pianist Roberto Negro returns with his latest offering, "Kings And Bastards," a whimsical and eclectic journey through sound that will leave listeners scratching their heads in both delight and confusion.

From the opening track, "The Royal Wig," Negro sets the tone for an album that doesn't take itself too seriously. With its playful piano melodies and unexpected shifts in tone, this track is a perfect introduction to the quirky world of "Kings And Bastards."

Tracks like "Bastard No. 1" and "The Crown Jewel" showcase Negro's masterful piano skills, as he effortlessly weaves intricate melodies with a touch of madness. The addition of saxophone and trumpet on some tracks adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to the already rich composition.

But it's not all fun and games on this album. Songs like "Betrayal in the Court" and "The Fall of the Monarchy" delve into darker territory, with Negro exploring themes of betrayal and power struggles. These tracks serve as a stark reminder that even in the whimsical world of jazz, there is still room for contemplation and reflection.

Overall, "Kings And Bastards" is a testament to Negro's creativity and versatility as a musician. With its blend of playful melodies and thoughtful introspection, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who dares to dive into its eccentric world. Long live the king, and may the bastards beware.
