Italy is a hotbed of jazz. There’s nothing new about that - the scene was thriving long before Chet Baker settled there in 1959. And the latest manifestation of the impressive Italian affinity for the music is this robust CD by sax man Alessandro Scala and his usual quartet, supplemented here by Fabrizio Bosso on trumpet and flugelhorn and Roberto Rossi on trombone. The gifted Scala also wrote all the tunes on the disc, except one.
The title (translating as 'Stellar Travel') suggests we’re in for a Sun Ra style cosmic excursion, but instead it’s a hard bop outing with a strong vein of soul. Above all, though, the benign spectre of Coltrane presides over the recording.
