Pasini, Gaspare
Ball & Boss
If there is one art that cannot be surrogated in jazz, it is clarity in the exposition of the theme, and in this matter Monteiro follows in the footsteps of the great roots of vocalism, with his mezzo-soprano range through which he dribbles the pitch, painting from one dynamic to the next the best suggestions for constructing the perfect interplay with Pasini, whose recourse to an almost tenor-like timbre of the alto sax seems to want to integrate timbrally to complete the palette of colours proper to the moods of each piece interpreted together. Assuming technique, it is in the common construction of language, in the adherence to the use of vibrato as in the control of tonality, that the intimate beauty of Ball & Boss resides. Something that is good to know exists and smacks of resistant revolutionarity. Pure language for poetry .
