« Fascinated
by collective imagination and the capacity of certain tunes to
inscribe themselves on people’s memory, I have found in
revolutionary songs a musical writing which draws its truth, its very
strength in a state of urgency where every single note is
necessary. »
Giovanni Mirabassi |

« His
latest album proposes in solo, an intimist reading of fifteen
revolutionary songs of different periods in time and of different
regions of the world, melodies that events in time or fortuitous
meetings have happened to transform into symbols of resistance,
melodies strongly laden with political emotion. »
Stéphane Vincent-Lancrin - Classica
« Giovanni
Mirabassi had the nerve and showed a lot of panache in tackling, so
young as he is, such a repertoire… of revolutionary and
patriotic songs, songs of resistance, struggle and refusal…As
usual, he chooses to stay as close as possible to the original
melody…which dictates his chords, imposes by itself its
rhythmical logic, its own interior dance…Mirabassi dares to
reveal the whole of his lyrical sensibility « à
l’italienne », and to develop an already very
personal sense of melodic drama and rhythmical staging. Well done! »
Pascal Anquetil - Jazzman
« …every
song is a story, a mark of distress, a cry, an intense emotion that
this young pianist whose talent is now established, finely
retranscribes with great subtlety… here in solo, we discover a
committed jazz man of an astonishing maturity. »
Sébastien Vidal - Nova
Giovanni
Mirabassi …is concerned with maintaining alive a collective
memory which has been so much harmed in recent times. The hymns,
revolutionary songs and popular songs are evoked here with great
decency, sticking closely to the original melody and the right note,
without any sense of heaviness and giving free rein to the emotion
that underlies their evocation… »
Jean-Paul Ricard - Jazz Magazine
« …
Each theme is a pretext to improvise without falling either into
clichés or excess. With just the touch and the concision which
are adequate to bring out all the lyrical quintessence, that which
raises a crowd all the same as one lone man…An album which
comes with a booklet of neat illustrations… »
Jacques Denis - Vibrations
« Giovanni
Mirabassi possesses a marvelous quality…: that of being
able to make a melody sing, to make it blossom, thus liberating from
it the fullness of its aroma, of its shape and of its chromatic
shimmer…(…) Signed by Philippe Ghielmetti, the edition
in itself is object of art. »
Alain Gerber - Diapason |
