A Beautiful Story is the title of the new album by Rosario Bonaccorso, produced by Via Veneto Jazz. Following his last album released in 2015, Viaggiando on Via Veneto Jazz (VVJ 098CD, 1991), Rosario Bonaccorso continues to enrich and expand his musical pathway, evolving his ideas as a band leader and composer. The twelve outstanding compositions on A Beautiful Story immediately enchant the listener with their beauty and depth. Once again, his music is smooth and powerful, and the listener is swept away into an overpowering, yet refined, intimate universe. On this new album, the double bassist is joined by a group of acclaimed musicians: his friend Dino Rubino on the flugelhorn, Enrico Zanisi on the piano and Alessandro Paternesi on the drums. These young "lions", widely appreciated by critics and audiences on both Italian and European jazz scenes, are sensitive and mature artists and despite their young age, they boast of a rich variety of noteworthy collaborations and experiences. There's a particular charm in the musical direction and the refined sound of this quartet, where the Italian flair for writing music is manifest, Rosario Bonaccorso representing this at its finest. With A Beautiful Story, Rosario Bonaccorso allures the listener into a sonic journey filling heart and soul, radiating the myriad of emotions in his music.

The innate strength and vigor of Rosario Bonaccorso's melodic writing, together with his striking formal structure, make him widely regarded a highly influential and innovative double bass player. Viaggiando consists of 14 original compositions that propel listeners headlong on an incredible journey, subtly shifting from one continent to another, while drifting through emotions linked by the common thread of the voyage, an inspirational trigger that has always played a key role in the musical adventures of the double bassist. A deep introspection pervades Bonaccorso's music, a soul-searching autobiography that reveals his passions and inspirations: distant journeys into unknown lands, nature, the sea itself, love, and contrasting emotions -- these are the true heart of the album. There are also a few tracks on which the musician sings for the first time: "Storto," "My Faith," "Mon Frere"... Bonaccorso's voice is perfectly and expressively symbiotic with his instrument. He has chosen his travelling companions with acute sensitivity and awareness, to achieve an end result that is true to his inspiration; effective and beguiling. At his side, Fabrizio Bosso sustains the creative flow, as he intuitively chisels evocative melodic fragments with his trumpet and saxophone, while Argentinian saxophonist Javier Girotto (soprano sax, baritone sax, quena, and moseño) and Brazilian guitarist Roberto Taufic blend seamlessly into the fabric, further flavoring this journey with the cultural sensitivity of their respective homelands. A voyage that spans the Mediterranean, American jazz, Brazil, Argentina... essential and pure ingredients that, under the guidance of Rosario Bonaccorso, give birth to a kaleidoscope of emotions that only music can convey.
