**Jazz pianist and composer Alejandro Kalinoski presents a powerful disc in trio
formation. With majority of own pieces and a classic sound, it is presented as a
very interesting appearance for 2019. It edits the Club del Disco.**

Recorded in January 2018 in the increasingly popular studio of Florencio Justo, 
Doctor F, this first record as leader of his own trio comes to Alejandro Kalinoski
after a long career as a jazz pianist, producer and member of important bands of
the local scene, like the Porteña Jazz Band, which he joined for eight years. Lately
he has shared the stage with renowned musicians such as Rex Richardson (United States)
or Daniel D’Alcantara (Brazil). The disc was presented in public averaging December
of last year, and of course it will reach members of the Club del Disco and specialized
record companies during 2019.

His partners in this lineup are Mauricio Dawid on double bass and Nicanor Faerberg
on drums, two young musicians but with an important journey already in the local
jazz environment. The disc starts with divergent paths, original composition (in
all senses) of high tempo and full sound. Then the theme that gives name to the 
album, also with a striking harmonic architecture. This could be one of the main
characteristics of the composer, although the ballad in three nocturnal words (track
3), a waltz reminiscent of Bill Evans, shows a more romantic, melodic side.

Then the classic I Should Care, first standard of the album, marks a new beginning
in the album. It is always a challenge to attack familiar issues, with the obligation
to say something. The trio goes out well, without strange devices, appealing to 
the musicality. Kalinoski does not intend to dazzle by speed, but builds solid solos
in which the use of both hands is fundamental.

The whole album is of an amazing regularity. It is enough to see the duration of
the eight tracks: the shortest one is In blue mode (6), of 4’11 ”; the longest, 
I Hear a Rhapsody (7), lasts 5’23 ”. In this last one it is recommended to pay attention,
in the exposition of the subject, to the subtle arrangement of contrabass and drums.

A wonderful engineering sound, international level. A luxury to bring this album
to our partners to start the year.
