Screenplay: Rino Cirinnà Quartet with Dino Rubino
Rino Cirinnà's quartet with Dino Rubino on piano, Lucio Terzano on double bass and Tony Arco on drums. Seven original compositions written like a film script, premiered at the Millennium Jazz Club in Scicli.
Screenplay was released on 29 July 2012 under the name of the Rino Cirinnà Quartet. The saxophonist (soprano and tenor) is joined by Dino Rubino (piano), Lucio Terzano (double bass), Tony Arco (drums).
The premiere
The album was previewed live at the Millennium Jazz Club in Scicli (Ragusa) on 23 February 2012, several months before the official release. From there, a tour took the quartet across Sicilian and national stages, all the way to the Rochester Jazz Festival later the same year.
The seven tracks
- Provincialism (8:15)
- Best Days for You (7:59)
- Big On Trio (8:50)
- Modaldino (10:12)
- Song for You (6:42)
- Behind (7:28)
- Screenplay (9:16)
Fifty-nine minutes in total. All compositions are originals, all move through the classic jazz quartet format (sax plus piano-led rhythm section), with long durations that leave room for Cirinnà's and Rubino's solo development. Modaldino, ten minutes long, openly references Rubino's modal pianism, which was already securing him a central place on the Italian scene.
The cinematic idea
The thread running through the record is that of a film script: each composition builds a scene with its own atmosphere, Cirinnà's sax acting as narrator's voice. The closing title track is the project's authorial signature.
