Our Take

Ah, the Mario Rusca Trio’s latest offering, "Monochrome Blues", is a delightful romp through the world of jazz with a modern twist. From the moment you hit play, you’re transported to a smoky, dimly lit club where the drinks flow and the music never stops.

Rusca’s impeccable skills on the piano are on full display here, with each note ringing out like a bell in the night. The trio’s chemistry is undeniable, with bassist Giovanni Battista and drummer Fabio Rigamonti providing the perfect foundation for Rusca to soar.

The title track, "Monochrome Blues", is a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases the trio’s ability to create mood and atmosphere with just a few simple notes. It’s a masterclass in restraint and subtlety, with each member of the trio playing off each other in perfect harmony.

Elsewhere on the album, tracks like "Midnight Serenade" and "Jazzanova" add a touch of playfulness to the proceedings, with catchy melodies and infectious rhythms that will have you tapping your foot in no time.

Overall, "Monochrome Blues" is a triumph for the Mario Rusca Trio, showcasing their versatility and skill as musicians. If you’re a fan of jazz or just looking for something a little different to spice up your music collection, this album is a must-listen. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

About the artist

Mario Rusca Trio

It's not often that a jazz trio can simultaneously transport you to a dimly lit, smoke-filled speakeasy from the 1920s and make you want to bust a move on the dance floor, but that's exactly what the Mario Rusca Trio achieves with their infectious blend of swing, bebop, and Latin rhythms. Led by the enigmatic Mario Rusca on piano, this Italian-born prodigy is a virtuoso in every sense of the word. His fingers dance across the keys with a precision and flair that would make even the most seasoned pianist green with envy. But it's not just his technical prowess that sets him apart - it's his ability to inject every note with raw emotion and unbridled passion that truly sets him apart. Backing him up are the talented Luca Rossi on bass and Alberto Conte on drums, who bring a tightness and chemistry to the trio that is simply unparalleled. Rossi's melodic bass lines provide the perfect foundation for Rusca's intricate piano solos, while Conte's dynamic drumming keeps the whole ensemble ticking along like a well-oiled machine. Together, the Mario Rusca Trio creates a sound that is at once nostalgic and fresh, paying homage to the jazz greats of yesteryear while pushing the genre forward into exciting new territory. Whether you're a die-hard jazz aficionado or a casual listener looking for something to spice up your playlist, the Mario Rusca Trio is sure to leave you tapping your toes and craving more.
