(CD)

“New Year's Eve” is the first studio album by doublebass player Marco Rottoli and his trio. The record is the result of his personal path of study and research, shaped by a solid experience gained as sideman and soloist in various fields of the jazz idiom.

In his first release as a leader, Rottoli features two of the most acknowledged italian young musicians: Simone Daclon on piano and Pasquale Fiore on drums. Years of collaboration and occasional gigs slowly built up a tight and distinctive acoustic trio sound, characterized by a high degree of interplay. Dashing and deep harmony, along with lyrical and well refined melodies allow Rottoli's compositions to immediately capture the attention of the listener. The record features five original tunes, two old songs from the early jazz repertoire and a fresh view on a Thelonious Monk classic.
