These include among others \"Erbe Selvatiche\", \"Pop-Paraphrenia\" and \"Woman's Colours\" (the latter co-written with his friend Giancarlo Barigozzi) as well as \"Alchemy in Jazz\". Originally released on Ring, an imprint of Edizioni Minstrel, the album was recorded by a quintet featuring Rocchi on piano plus long-time collaborators Hugo Heredia (sax and flute), Sergio Fanni (trumpet), Gianni Cazzola (drums) and Furio Di Castri (double bass), and has since become a cult record in countries from the US to Japan, where it was released for the first time on CD in 2013. With a palette ranging from frenzied post-bop echoes(\"Gold-Fast\", \"Nigredo\") to sentimental nocturnal ballads (\"Solution\", \"Rubedo\") to cheerful modern-jazz vibes (\"Mercury\", \"Silver-Bop\", \"Sulphur\"), here Rocchi paints an elegantly syncopated musical fresco that, like the magical, alchemical process referred to in the title, transmutes the harsher aspects of jazz syntax into a graceful and more euphonic style that is approachable for jazz neophytes and yet enjoyable for seasoned jazz lovers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40911939862625,"sku":"0799513793010","price":18.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_10723710_961474.jpg?v=1715243460","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0799513793010-alchemy-in-jazz","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
