IndiePerCui: Jordan Corda - Awakenings by Marco Zordan

Leaving aside technical ability and personal taste, too often influenced by market norms, we find ourselves faced with a powerfully emotionally charged performance where sweat and passion are highlighted by an intrinsic predisposition to create, step by step, sonic environments of undeniable beauty. Artistic landscapes where one can abandon oneself to twilight meditation and from which to always ignite new ambitions. Jordan Corda's album combines texture with fantasy, offering the listener a point of contact with something profound, with roots, with Sardinia, with that ancestral something that resides within each of us. The Sardinian vibraphonist, with Luca Mannutza on piano, Paolo Recchia on alto sax, Daniele Sorrentino on bass, and Sasha Mashin on drums, paints a picture where the colors of jazz become a contemporary world to be discovered, and where meticulous and consistent improvisation marries lively songwriting that draws its rare power from a personal, autobiographical, and sincere diary of life. An album rich in nuances capable of incorporating an undulating motion that invites you to set off, far away.
