"Giovanni Mirabassi... It is a discovery, with the track Place de la
mairie issued from the record Architectures, in 1998.
It
is a music that touch to the essential: to the drama of the
existence, by a touch of melancholy, and to the passion of life by
his powerful engagement on the improvisations about revolutionary
songs of Avanti! in 2000.
It
is a way of phrasing rich in emotions, in which he integrates the
audience, creating with it a particular link. He says himself "the
audience is an integrating part in my musical research... It is the
big part of the risk... and the goal of my life... there is an
addiction to the magic of the concert, when everybody sounds in a
perfect unison". La Base, november
2002).
It
is a very personal style which runs through the original
compositions, beauty and elegance of melodic lines, never ending
sensitivity of a contrasted playing, tender or savage... Something
of the "Italian soul" as we use to say "the slavic
soul". Moreover these two romanticisms, italian and polish, had
to meet one day on the record Mirabassi & Jagodzinski trio
(2002), where the "introduction to jazz" of Jagodzinski's
accordion brings warm unissued colors to the all interpretations.
It
is an international meeting, with Flavio Boltro et Glenn Ferris
around the (((Air))) project, in 2003, where piano, trumpet
and trombone realise a single, subtle and perfect tangle.
It
is another encounter, great, in Prima o poi, with Flavio
Boltro, Louis Moutin and Gildas Boclé... Il bandolero
stanco and Symphomaniax are already engraved in our
memories. Let's notice specially on this album, the lyricism and
energy of very "jazz" solos (Tôt ou tard,
Symphomaniax, Minor voyage)
Giovanni Mirabassi is
a magician, who creates the happening in the world of jazz." Annie Staricky (november 2005)
