2007 release. Doctor 3 are back. Absent from the music business since 2003, their return is more precious than ever, because these years of silence have not produced anything similar in the panorama of Italian jazz music. The alchemy of Doctor 3 was and is theirs only, belongs only to the trio, although individual members of the group have given birth to albums of all respects. But -- let's face it -- it was not the same thing. Blue, irresistibly jazz, is, unlike earlier works, an album decidedly focused on nocturnal atmospheres of rich blue. Here there is minimalism and synthesis, compared to the four previous productions; there is a crystal-clear sound returned in every note, in every agreement, every nuanced harmonic; it is as if the authors so distant in time and space (from Burt Bacharach to Francesco De Gregori, from Damien Rice to Luigi Tenco, from Rodgers and Hart to Mogol/Battisti, passing by Elmer Bernstein, James Taylor, and John Williams ...) sounded similarly filtered by the soul of the musicians and their instruments. A disc of the soul and for the soul.
