**A work by a guitar trio recorded by Italian guitarist Massimo Vescovi with bass
player Carlo Bavetta and drummer Marco Zanori.**

It is a masterpiece that breathes new life into a song that reflects the American
jazz tradition and the taste of Northern Europe with a unique voice, and develops
an interplay with the trio members.

Leaving behind crystallized swing and blues forms, the trio reconstruct new tensions
and improvisational spaces.

Vibrant, sometimes intense, sometimes dreamy… always surprising music is born, inviting
the audience on a wonderful musical journey.

Difficult to say. Perhaps the thing I loved most about this record was the good 
feeling of being able to do something more concrete with my passion after 12 years
of abstinence.  A result that would have been impossible to achieve without a number
of positive factors. First of all: having met Carlo Bavetta, a young double bass
player recommended to me by a common colleague for his skill, and having found Marco
Zanoli whom I have known for over 25 years and with whom I had already collaborated
on my first album “Luci e Ombre “of 2005. Two fantastic artists for preparation 
and originality, willing to meet even just for the pleasure of playing together,
to work on music with absolute passion and dedication, to dig into the substance
of the same to create a special alchemy between the instruments. Second: the regularity
of our meetings that allowed us to refine listening, dialogue, interplay, musical
breath, essential elements for the music I had in mind. Third: more practical, but
no less important, a place of my own where I can work together on music with consistency
and continuity. The natural consequence of all this was the birth of the desire 
to transform our musical encounters into a real laboratory where to design a record
work.  As with my previous albums also this time, feeling the need to create original
music, I immersed myself in my deepest musical world, the harmonic one. Always fascinated
by the infinite mechanisms that regulate it, my compositions often arise from simple
concatenations of chords that I gradually try to extend until arriving at a draft
that I consider complete. The choice of rhythm, style and melody often comes later,
almost as a natural consequence of what has already been established at the harmonic
level. The precious collaboration, the research of the details, the advice and the
musicality of Carlo and Marco have helped to stimulate and perfect my compositional
effort by putting into practice the drafting of the eleven pieces you find in this
work. I am currently still working to advertise the CD in order to be able to find
concerts and maybe sell some physical copies. I would summarize it like this: the
intellect in music are all the rules, the harmonic, melodic and rhythmic concatenation
that can be learned in one’s own course of study; the soul, on the other hand, is
inspiration, genius, sensitivity, singing, something that flies above all the rules.
Playing jazz for me is trying to keep these two essential elements in the right 
balance;  which is often not easy …. – an interview with me said **Massimo Vescovi**.

Massimo Vescovi Trio – Barring unforeseen events – Constantly in search of an expressiveness
detached from the guitar clichés applied to jazz, Massimo Vescovi has managed to
reinvent himself through an absolutely personal language and to collect a series
of original compositions in a delicate balance between the Afro-American tradition
and northern suggestions European.

The debut album “Lights and Shadows” in quartet with the pianist Stefano Battaglia
was followed by two delicate, dreamy new collections: “Foam” and “Whistle this” 
music conceived and developed from time to time in trio and quintet.

Today, with a new fantastic trio together with the double bass player Carlo Bavetta
and the drummer Marco Zanoli, Vescovi gives life to his new project “Salvo Imprevisti”.

The result of an intense collective work of study and research that has given new
life to the compositional vein of the leader, the Massimo Vescovi Trio offers a 
repertoire that abandons the mainstream of the infinite and wonderful repertoire
of American standards, dedicating itself to completely original compositions.

With the aim of discovering and following ever new paths, leaving behind the safety
and crystallized forms of swing and blues, the group recalibrates the phrasing on
new tensions and new improvisational spaces often characterized by harmonic and 
rhythmic paths that are not at all obvious.

The result is a vibrant, intense, sometimes dreamy but always surprising music capable
of enchanting the audience by accompanying them on a wonderful journey.
