Francesco Maccianti Trio

Terashima Records released three Alessandro Galati standards albums, Plays Standards, simultaneously at the end of 2024. The album won the gold prize in the Jazz Audio Disc Award 2024, a jazz review magazine, and created a great sensation. The standards performance by Italian pianist Francesco Mascianti, produced by Galati, is lyrical, but the refined melodies that accompany the music are impressive and leave a deep and rich aftertaste for the listeners. This is a work that allows the listener to fully appreciate Yasukuni Terashima’s attention to “sound” and “expression” that shines through his aesthetic eye. (C)RS
