5 GREAT NEW REVIEWS FOR "SINTETICO"
D'Aiello's weighty, behind-the-beat sound shows how a poetic imagination can rekindle a long-gone style without nostalgia ……
John Fordham, Friday March 16, 2007 The Guardian, Four stars review
Il nous presente un musicien parvenu a' la maturite'.Si le musicien n'a rien perdu de sa generosite', de son lyrisme, son langage a aacquis de l'assurance, et son discours est equilibre' dans la construction et dans l'usage des differe'rents registres? qui fondent sa maniere...........
Paris, Jazzhot magazine , April 2007
"...When you hear it on the subtly-simmering 'For Heaven's Sake' you know you're in the presence of a master improviser."
Brian Blain, Jazz UK review, February/March 2007 issue
"His solos tell a story. Their lines unfold with a natural flow, especially on the ballads 'For Heaven's Sake' and 'Portrait of Jenny'."
Jack Massarick, Evening Standard, 2/2/07. Four stars review
" Relaxed, unhurried but imbued with intense warmth tinged with poignancy, D'Aiello's tenor sound thus prioritises the expression of sentiment
rather than the demonstration of instrumental facility...”
“...He showcases one of the most attractive and affecting tenor sounds in contemporary jazz. Recommended."
Chris Parker, Jazz CD review, Vortex, March 2007

MUSIC PRESS (new)
Fronting a rhythm section comprising two Italians (Sardinian bassist Nicola Muresu, pianist Andrea Pozza, from Genoa) and an American (drummer Keith Copeland), saxophonist Renato D'Aiello proves throughout this wholly unpretentious, approachable album that virtuosity need not consist of forcing your instrument to produce its whole range of sounds in every solo, nor of producing blisteringly fast salvos of notes that explore every nook and cranny of a chord sequence.
Instead, D'Aiello concentrates on tonal beauty, producing a series of ripe, rich, sonorous tenor expositions of a mix of in-band originals and standards in the manner of, say, Dexter Gordon. Relaxed, unhurried but imbued with intense warmth tinged with poignancy, D'Aiello's tenor sound thus prioritises the expression of sentiment rather than the demonstration of instrumental facility, and in a set that includes everything from easy-paced lopes that slowly build to a tightly controlled climax ('For Heaven's Sake'), through intensely melodic, fluting ballads ('Portrait of Jenny') to Dexter-ish swaggers ('If I Should Lose You') and vigorous workouts (Sonny Stitt's 'Eternal Triangle'), he showcases one of the most attractive and affecting tenor sounds in contemporary jazz. Recommended.
Chris Parker, Jazz CD review, Vortex, March 2007
http://www.vortexjazz.co.uk/cd-reviews/sintetico.html
.....D'Aiello has a highly dramatic manner of playing and a willingness to take risks which can make it seem as if he is overstretching himself; thus when he launched into Ellington's In a Sentimental Mood in the second set he placed himself on the critical block. The result was a breathtaking performance in which he displayed a stunning range of expression, infallible control over the instrument and a true feeling for the melody itself. He is a restless attacking player who uses not only the full, extended, range of the instrument but also a much wider dynamic variety than many other saxophonists. Linked with a technique that allows him to play at scorching speed and accuracy, the result was jazz of outstanding colour and excitement.......

MUSIC PRESS ( old )
"Italian saxophonist Renato D'Aiello oozes class. When
he plays quietly the effect is like hearing an old friend
kindly giving you some much-needed advice.
And when he lets rip, he has you rocking in your chair..................
James Griffith, The Guardian 14 April 2003 ( 4 stars review )
Bonington Theatre UK tour with Kirk Lightsey
“Renato is a superlative saxophonist with a passionate
and poetic soul. He has all the virtues - a beautiful sense
of time and pacing and a technique which effortlessly
projects his brilliantly flowing ideas.”
Ian Carr, Jazz writer
“D'Aiello couples a domineering get-out-of-my-way sound
with bounce and spontaneity, but he is also capable of
considerable tenderness…….
The man is such a walking music box……” ( 4 stars review )
John Fordham, The Guardian
“He caresses a melody with a warmth that owes more to
Dexter Gordon then John Coltrane".........
Jack Massarik, Evening standard live review of
Pizza Express concert
“If this session was a late-50s Blue note release it would now
be regarded as a classic. As it is, you have to peel away
decades of stylistic ennui to penetrate its considerable worth.”
Keith Shadwick, Jazzwise’s December 2001 review
of ‘Introducing RENATO D’AIELLO SPJ CD 570
“Renato D'Aiello plays the saxophone with authority and swagger.
Listening to him reminds me of the reason I was driven to play
jazz in the first place.”
Phil Lee, Master of Jazz Guitar
“There’s this fine musician’s beautiful,lyrical and intense saxophone
playing with people he really digs.”
Brian Blain, Jazz UK
“Renato was also a ballad master, creating sinewy,sensual solos,
squeezing passion from every note.”
Chris Lee, Manchester Evening News
“Damon also introduced his “secret weapon” in Italian tenor-saxophonist Renato D’Aiello.”
Alan Joyce, Bonington Theatre, Damon Brown 5et live
