Reviews:
"Venus owner and producer Tetsuo Hara is known for recruiting various American jazz musicians for record dates during his regular trips to New York City, but he is also spending time in Europe, where he recruited the Roma Trio for this excellent LP. Unless they gain exposure in the U.S. through appearing on American recordings or performing in New York City, European jazz musicians have a tough time getting recognized in the West. But Hara has long since learned the preferences of the Japanese jazz market, which readily seems to absorb bands he has introduced through his label. Pianist Luca Mannutza, bassist Gianluca Renzi, and drummer Nicola Angelucci tackle a program that includes typical standards, a few overlooked chestnuts, time-tested jazz favorites, and more. The often banal "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing" is an unusual choice for an opener, but the Roma Trio don't play it strictly as a slow ballad, nor do they take that approach with the popular "If I Should Lose You," preferring to set up the tune and then launch into rapid-fire bop. "On Green Dolphin Street" is often played by jazz groups with little thought, but the addition of Renzi's infectious vamp provides a novel approach. The pianist's adaptation of Sonny Rollins' "Airegin" takes it a bit from the usual path, blending Brazilian rhythms and classical nuances.Angelucci contributed "Claudia's Nightmare," which sets up as a moody Latin ballad, only to detour frequently into brisk bop. One surprise is the ease with which rocker Sting's "Message in a Bottle" is transformed by the trio into an interesting jazz vehicle. It seems likely that the Roma Trio will gain a foothold in the Japanese jazz market with this potent LP, though they deserve greater exposure worldwide." Allmusic Review by Ken Dryden.
In the same vein as the trios led by Stefano Bollani and Giovanni Guidi, Roma Trio is another magnificent Italy-based piano trio from Venus Records. Roma Trio includes Luca Mannutza (piano), Gianluca Renzi (bass), and Nicola Angelucci (drummer). These are all up-and-coming musicians who have collectively played with artists such as Giovanni Mirabassi, Paolo Fresu, Steve Grossman, Fabrizio Bosso, and Marc Johnson.
What sets this trio apart from the many other piano trios out there is their time. The tempo moves organically and unpredictably mid-tune, and the group often adds odd meter rhythm arrangements to familiar jazz standards. Their unique approach makes their music modern and absorbing. Some highlights include "Whisper Not," the exciting "Airegin," and The Police's "Message in a Bottle."
