Home Recording Session: Cirinnà, Rubino, Toscano in a domestic setting

Home Recording Session was released on 14 February 2018. A trio in which Rino Cirinnà on sax, Dino Rubino on piano and Nello Toscano on double bass record in a domestic setting, deliberately leaving the non-studio nature of the session audible.

The six standards

1. I'm Getting Sentimental Over You (4:10) — George Bassman, 1932
2. Stars Fell on Alabama (4:55) — Frank Perkins, 1934
3. Blue Bossa (7:05) — Kenny Dorham, 1963
4. Bluesette (7:48) — Toots Thielemans, 1962
5. Alone Together (7:54) — Arthur Schwartz, 1932
6. Close to You (3:29)

Six pages spanning mid-century American song to 1960s modal jazz. The program feels unhurried, letting the dialogue between sax, piano and double bass surface naturally, in the spirit of musical friendship that runs through the Anaglyphos catalog.

The shape of the project

The idea is that of three longtime friends getting together to play, without the apparatus of a full production. The result is a record where the three voices remain exposed and legible, free of the emphasis typical of professional studio mixes. It presents itself for what it is: three musicians in a room.
