Sometimes the best way to keep music fresh is to approach it from another angle. Pianist/composer Carlos Franzetti has made a career of approaching jazz from his own perspective, creatively adding music elements of his Argentine heritage, mostly notably tango, and classical music for his own unique sound. His interest and work scoring films has also led to a cinematic quality in his work overall. Franzetti’s new recording, Ricordare, takes all of these elements, namely his original compositions, film music and jazz standards, and throws them together with the aid of new trio for an off the cuff recording session. The music made with bassist David Finck and drummer Eliot Zigmund is fresh and inspired, as the recording marks the first time the trio has played together.
