"Italian double bassist Ferdinando Romano, who has been working fairly recently with trombone great Robin Eubanks and emerges from both a classical and jazz background, has an upcoming album called Totem feat. Ralph Alessi on Losen Records out on 24 April that rewards close listening.
Recorded last October, beautifully captured in striking clarity by Stefano Amerio, the great Italian sound engineer at his world class studio near Udine, the album is comprised of eight pieces all by the bassist (Alessi is on six of them). Romano also produced the record, his band has saxophone and trumpet in the front line and is flavoured by vibes augmenting the core piano trio rhythm section. Romano reminds me a little of Dave Holland and certainly possesses excellent technique he puts to imaginative use. Worth discovering. Check out beautifully arranged opener ‘The Gecko’"
