It's a funny world where to get to know what's going on with Italian jazz scene one need to follow a british label but so it seems to me recently. I've had a distinct pleasure of writing about

Apart from my personal interest in Italy (I'm an almost pd in italian philology) what caught my interest about the cd is the band's name and cd's title. Swedish Mobilia? Knife, fork and spoon? Just for this kind of "and now for something completely different" you've got to get some credit. But there's much more to give the credit for.

Leo Feign continues his glorious campaing of bringing forward  new names and fresh music. I don't really know if this cd marks the debut by the trio (as it is, in fact, a fruit of a 10 years of ongoing collaboration) I've found only a scarce info on any of the musicians playing and the most relevant could be the fact that they've released a cd on italian Splasc(h) label as the Koan Quartet back in 2006  (with the addition of Gianluca Grasso on keyboards). As a result of this lack of information, the cd comes as a surprise, but also continues to do so with each next track - being one of the most ecclectic and varied cds I've listened to recently.
