about

´´Paula Shocron's trio from Our Delight resurfaces on Warm Valley where trumpeter Mariano Loiacono shares the bill with Shocron as co-leader. Like Shocron, Loiacono has a background in classical music. He studied with Fernando Ciancio, one of the most prominent trumpet-players in classical music and then turned to jazz at the age of 21. Since then, he hasn't looked back and has become a respected jazz musician, who is an important part of the vital jazz scene in Buenos Aires.

On Warm Valley, Loiacono sticks to the flugelhorn and the warm richness of the instrument is the perfect counterpart to the airy expression of the trio. The musicians kick off with "Bird Song," Thad Jones' homage to Charlie Parker, where the unison lines of piano and brass burn with the energy of bop.

Then follows Paula Shocron's "Elvin," a relaxed swinging piece that introduces guest-musician Sebastián Loiacono, who also spins some crisp balladic lines on "The Nearness of You" where the spirit of Ben Webster is revived.

The repertoire, as usual with Rivorecords, mixes the occasional original composition with familiar and less played standards. "Warm Valley," like the title implies, is a warm landscape of sound where Loiacono's skill as a balladeer comes to the fore with a Chet Baker-like sensitivity and the melody is certainly one of Duke Ellington's gems.

Good melodies, a strong guest appearance and fine solo spots from two of the finest artists of Rivorecords. This sums up Warm Valley.´´
