Mario Rusca Trio - Reaction (1974)

Prepare to be transported to the smoky jazz clubs of 1970s Milan with the mesmerizing sounds of Mario Rusca Trio's debut album, "Reaction." Recorded in 1974 at Fontana Studio, this rare gem captures the essence of Italian jazz at its finest, showcasing the exceptional talents of pianist Mario Rusca, bassist Stefano Cerri, and drummer Gianni Cazzola.
"Reaction" is a masterclass in modern jazz and post-bop, featuring shimmering soundscapes and innovative interpretations of jazz classics like Ron Carter's "First Trip," Thelonious Monk's "Straight No Chaser," and Miles Davis's "Blue In Green." Rusca's virtuosic piano playing takes center stage, supported by Cerri's electric bass grooves and Cazzola's impeccable drumming, creating a sonic tapestry that is as captivating as it is evocative.
Originally released on the Dynia World Records label, "Reaction" is a testament to Rusca's unparalleled talent and musical vision. Despite its limited initial release, the album quickly gained a cult following among jazz enthusiasts, thanks to its groundbreaking compositions and dynamic performances. Now, thanks to the efforts of producer Ekkehart Fleischhammer and sound engineer Jury Lutz, "Reaction" has been lovingly restored and remastered for a new generation of listeners to enjoy.
In addition to his musical prowess, Rusca's storied career includes collaborations with jazz luminaries like Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, and Stan Getz, as well as accolades such as representing Italy in Piano Solo at the International Festival of Warsaw. His contributions to the Italian jazz scene are immeasurable, and "Reaction" stands as a testament to his enduring legacy.
So sit back, pour yourself a glass of fine Italian wine, and let the captivating sounds of Mario Rusca Trio's "Reaction" take you on a journey through the golden age of jazz. With its timeless melodies and infectious rhythms, this is an album that will leave you craving more with each listen.
