Luca Donini Quartet - Angel

Review by Queenie Thayer

The Luca Donini Quartet has released their latest album, Angel, and it is a beautiful and soulful collection of tracks. The quartet is led by Luca Donini on guitar, and he is joined by Mario Corvini on trumpet, Simone Sferruzza on bass, and Andrea Nunzi on drums.

The album opens with the title track, "Angel," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. It is a slow and mournful piece that showcases the quartet's ability to create a haunting atmosphere. The next track, "Aurora," picks up the pace a bit and features some impressive solos from both Donini and Corvini.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Soulmates," which is a beautiful and romantic ballad. The interplay between Donini and Corvini is particularly impressive on this track, and they both deliver some truly emotional solos.

Other highlights on the album include "Waltz for Daria," which is a lively and upbeat track that showcases the quartet's ability to swing, and "The Dance of the Butterflies," which is a dreamy and atmospheric piece that features some beautiful playing from Sferruzza.

Summary by Queenie Thayer

Angel is a fantastic album that showcases the Luca Donini Quartet's incredible musicianship and ability to create a wide range of moods and atmospheres. Fans of jazz guitar and trumpet will definitely want to give this album a listen.
