E' USCITO IL NUOVO ALBUM DI EVA SIMONTACCHI SU ETICHETTA Splasc(H) Records, "PURE ECSTASY" inciso con E.S.P. TRIO, SPECIAL GUEST: GENDRICKSON MENA (tromba, flicorno). EVA SIMONTACCHI'S NEW ALBUM, "PURE ECSTASY" recorded with E.S.P. Trio and special guest Gendrickson Mena (trumpet/flugelhorn) HAS BEEN ISSUED (FEB. 2008) BY SPLASC(H) RECORDS - Can be purchased at WWW.JAZZOS.COM - click below on the picture
JAZZOS.COM DICONO DI LEI: "..........Frutto della collaborazione con una delle formazioni più prestigiose e raffinate sulle scena jazzistica europea, Pure Ecstasy rivela il talento, la cultura e insieme la encomiabile umiltà di una cantante che, lasciando ai suoi partner gli spazi dell’invenzione e dell’improvvisazione, sceglie di concentrarsi sul ruolo di pura interprete della canzone: un ruolo, del resto, che nel corso della storia del jazz è stato nobilmente coperto da sublimi canaries quali Lee Wiley e Peggy Lee, Lurlean Hunter e Jeri Southern. Oltre che a Mercer, Eva Simontacchi rende omaggio a classici songwriter come Cole Porter, Harry Warren, Isham Jones, Victor Young, Billy Strayhorn, e al nostro Bruno Martino, e lo fa con relax e colloquialità di enunciazione (e non è facile accostarsi a un tema come “Lush Life” con tale semplicità e schiettezza), con la rimarchevole pulizia di dizione del suo strumento chiaro e perlaceo e un suo senso peculiare della scoperta e della sorpresa emotiva, talora venato di malinconia ma sempre alleggerito da una grazia sorridente. E al suo ruolo di attenta ed elegante interprete Eva aggiunge con competenza anche quello di liricista, cucendo testi di garbata e sognante eloquenza alle preziose melodie firmate da Roberto Cipelli e Attilio Zanchi." (LUCIANO FEDERIGHI, MILANO) “May This be the first of many cd’s for Eva” (SHEILA JORDAN, N.Y.) “Your cd is very nice. You sound lovely and sincere. I think the sincerity is missing in the music nowadays. Boy that Gendrickson plays his ass off in your cd. He is so complimentary to your singing! The guys play so well too!” (SHEILA JORDAN, N.Y.)
