Alboran Trio
The Alboran Trio is an Italian jazz piano trio consisting of Paolo Paliaga ( piano ), Gigi Biolcati ( drums and percussion ) and Dino Contenti ( double bass ). The name is derived from the uninhabited Mediterranean island of Alborán , which lies between the Andalusian coast and North Africa. On the one hand, it is intended to underline the mystical atmosphere of the music and, on the other hand, to point out the influence of different Mediterranean cultures.
history
The trio formed in 2005. After a tour of various Italian cities, Meltemi released their debut album in 2006 , which was positively received by the press. This was followed by various concerts in other European countries and in 2008 the release of their second studio album Near Gale . Both albums were released by the German jazz label ACT Music .
style
What is remarkable about the style of the trio is the equality of the instruments, with which the formation stands under the sign of the music of Bill Evans or the Esbjörn Svensson Trio . Furthermore, influences of world music in the form of Spanish and Arabic rhythms or melodic elements can be recognized.
