[TR24][OF] Rusconi - Revolution - 2012 (Contemporary Jazz, Fusion)

RUSCONI’s trio was founded by Stefan Rusconi, Fabian Gisler and Claudio Strüby. Together for 8 years, they played more than 250 gigs in Europe and Asia, and played in many famous festivals. In 2004 the band released the album Scenes & Sceneries (Brambus Records), followed in 2006 by Stop & Go (Unit Records), the band begin to be famous in press with the album One up down left right (Sony Music) released in 2008. The album It’s a sonic life (Sony Music) released in 2010, covers 14 songs of Sonic Youth, which shows us the band influences.
In June 2011, the band recorded Revolution. They booked for two weeks a big empty room in Basel (Switzerland) where were delivered a grand piano, Claudio’s drum, Fabian’s double bass, and the rest of their material. The recording has led to a many songs; the band could pick the songs they wanted to keep for the album in a casual atmosphere and without any time limits.
The result is an album reflecting the trio current interests and creativity. Piano, drum, double bass, voices, whistles, distortions, feed-backs, space echo, instrumental preparations and the tape recorder create songs, a chao and improvised tunes which had been developed and consolidated during the last two years of concerts.
The album includes a collaboration with the guitarist Fred Frith (Henry Cow, Art Bears, Skeleton Crew), who lives in the USA, and some direct cuts from previous live performance of the band.
