Omschrijving

From the earliest notes of the initial Cool River waltz he feels the cloth of the good pianist, 
who has absorbed the Evansian lesson and that of the great bop matrix pianists, 
and knows how to give the phrases the right breath with a good sense of construction, 
full mastery of harmonic developments and a singular and communicative solism. 
The interplay that characterizes the whole recording is commendable, walking and the remarkable solo 
of the bass player and the timely accompaniment of the drummer are appropriate in every song, 
from the original (all of the pianist, with great pleasure, especially the blues daring The Driver) 
and the two prestigious standards, When Sunny Gets Blue and If I Should Lose You, arranged in a style to mention.

A piano trio striking in the sign since the first track. Puglisi and Angelucci, who accompany with style 
and conviction, but above all the leader Andrea Beneventano, who in this "The Driver" is the second opera 
in his name after "Trinacria", edited in 2003 by Alfa Music. A well-known teacher, who graduated in piano 
at Santa Cecilia and jazz in Latina, Sicilian pianist, like many musicians' musicians, 
deserves greater visibility in light of his long career, in which he has collaborated with 
prestigious names in both American and Italian jazz. Perhaps the attachment to the mainstream 
and the choice to perpetuate the great tradition of the jazz plan have overshadowed somehow the merits, 
which are clearly evident in this new work.
