The Max Carletti Jazz Trio's latest album, Jazz Trio, is a stunning showcase of the trio's virtuosic musicianship and dynamic interplay. From the opening track, "Blue Bossa," to the closing number, "Take Five," Carletti and his bandmates deliver a masterful performance that is both technically impressive and emotionally stirring.
Throughout the album, Carletti's piano playing is a standout, with his nimble fingers dancing across the keys with precision and grace. Bassist Marco Rossi and drummer Marco Bianchi provide the perfect foundation for Carletti's solos, laying down a steady groove that is both tight and fluid.
The trio's arrangements of classic jazz standards like "My Funny Valentine" and "All of Me" are fresh and inspired, with each musician bringing their own unique voice to the music. The trio also showcases their improvisational skills on several tracks, including the lively "St. Thomas," where they trade solos with lightning-fast speed and precision.
