• Del “miracolo” Fernando Grillo

“THE FERNANDO GRILLO ORGY.
          Fernando Grillo is one of greatest bassists of the world. He has been called "The Buddha of the bass" by Karlheinz Stockhausen, and has had works composed for him by many great modern composers, most notably Iancu Dumitrescu (two recordings have been released on Romania’s Edition Modern Label).

Grillo’s music crosses the boundaries of jazz, improvised, and modern classical music. As one of the gurus of the Italian school of bass playing, he spends most of his time hidden in the music academy in the gorgeous hill town of Perugia, in Umbria, Italy, and has recorded very little in his extensive career. The recordings featured on this Orgy are unlike anything heard anywhere else. They include Grillo’s solo album Fluvine, rereleased from the original 1970s Cramps LP, which is a monstrous bass composition and performance, as well as his recordings for Dumitrescu–solo works and works with and in front of ensembles and orchestras, and two albums of medium-sized-group improvisation from festivals around Europe (with some electro-acoustic and European improvisational greats) released on the German FMP label.

Fernando Grillo’s mysterious music and persona have inspired many bass players who marvel at his technique and the sounds he coaxes from his instrument, as well as legions of composers.”

mmmmmmm, siccome devo tradurre da un altra lingua, .... mi sa che lo hanno capito tutti tranne noi ( e non parlo di me, te o altri di questo forum). Lo dimostra il fatto che sei di nuovo tra noi, nonostante,..... al contrario di chi, magari anche a ragione, si nega questa piccola oasi di cultura musicale che sta cercando di creare il Maestro in questo forum.
Grazie Maestro Grillo!
