Worth a Listen - Roberto Magris Europlane

Worth a Listen focuses exclusively on independent artists and songwriters whose music has emotional impact.

Roberto Magris is a highly respected Italian jazz pianist and composer with an extensive 15-album discography. I recently had the pleasure of listening to his latest release with the Europlane Orchestra, Check-in, featuring Tony Lakatos on soprano and tenor sax. When I say "pleasure," it's an understatement. The range of energy and emotion on this album is simply electrifying--it is easy to understand why Magris has earned the respect of his peers. He exemplifies the modern piano tradition and it's no surprise to me that one of the artists he cites--McCoy Tyner--is also one of my favorites.

Without a doubt, Check-in earns the "ear candy" rating. I can't wait to hear Magris's next release.

Check him out at www.jazzitalia.net/artisti/robertomagris.asp, www.europlaneorchestra.com, and www.alfabeats.net.
