Ellipse by stefano travaglini

Stefano Travaglini, piano

“Ellipse is the result of an hour-long, free recording session, unmodified by cuts or edits. I have freely conveyed extemporaneous inventions as well as themes and quotations with the sole purpose of offering a unique, cohesive, and elliptical work.”

“Ellipse is a terrific solo piano recording; adventurous, but never over the top, and often quite beautiful.”
Karl Ackermann, All about jazz

“Each improvisation seems to emerge organically and with its own logic. An hour of relatively abstract piano might sound like a daunting prospect, but Travaglini’s meditations are sufficiently grounded and immediate to hold the most sceptical of listeners.”
Brian Morton, Jazz Journal (UK)

“Italian pianist Stefano Travaglini‘s Ellipse is a masterwork of improvised music.”
“This melodic ear and Travaglini’s sense of pace makes Ellipse one of the best improvised works of 2017. A beautiful and adventurous recording.”
Matt Hooke, All about jazz

“…Travaglini work’s Monk musical style into something that is uniquely his own.”
C. Baber, JazzViews (UK)

Italian pianist and composer.

“Travaglini’s is a wondrously eclectic talent…”
Brian Morton, Jazz Journal (UK)
