about

Opal, the third release of Ghezzi's series Minerals is inspired by the qualities attributed to the mineral of the same name and is a sonic journey in search for internal clarity.
Abyss is an improvised immersion in the depth of sound, Meadow is an enriching solitary moment surrounded by poppies, Instabile is the struggle for certainty and Confluence is bright crystalline light.

“The melodies are alluring, the atmosphere is intoxicating, and the overall effect is mesmerizing. An interesting, intriguing, and slightly out of the ordinary album - but then, who wants ordinary when you can have the extraordinary!” Sammy Stein

"L’approfondimento tecnico della vocalità fatta dalla Ghezzi guarda con rispetto a quanto è avvenuto nel mondo del canto jazz dopo l’avvento di Jeanne Lee..." “...all’inizio un canone alla chitarra con un canto melodico beato e intrecciato armonicamente con sovrapposizione, poi un’evoluzione libera con vere e proprie decorazioni alla chitarra elettrica e alla fine un canto labile che rinnega le forme precedenti alla
maniera di un Proteo." Ettore Garzia

Divertente e esuberante non sono degli aggettivi che associo di primo acchito alla musica di ricerca: allora congratulazioni a Francesca Naibo per aver creato un'intrigante eccezione a questa pseudo-regola...e grazie per averci permesso di essere testimoni a questo dialogo a tre che, pur essendo estremamente personale, parla pure a me Michele M.
