Roditi, Claudio / Ignatzek, Klaus / Rassinfosse, Jean-Louis / Trio - Three For One

Featuring Claudio Roditi (trumpet, vocals), Klaus Ignatzek (piano), Jean-Louis Rassinfosse (bass). 10 Tracks. Recorded on November 6, 2002 at Studio Vagnsson, Hamburg. “Three for One is full of moonlight. For one thing, the combination of bass, piano, and trumpet creates an airy, open feel; for another, the material, all original except for the “Green Dolphin” warhorse, is light and lyrical. … With this trio's impeccable time, and Rassinfosse's strong walking lines, you won't miss the drums. Relaxing and thoughtful and full of genial energy, Roditi's latest is a refreshing change of pace from the usual trio format.” (Dr. Judith Schlesinger) “Trumpeter Claudio Roditi brings an earnest understanding of his Brazilian homeland’s music to the table … it’s exceptionally well done and stands well on its own.” (Todd Jenkins, Down Beat) “Light in the Dark is the second recording from this innovative and engaging trio. In 2003, I reviewed their first Nagel-Heyer release, Three for One (341) ... I really liked their debut CD, and I'm happy to report that this a worthy followup. ... The drum-less format is still airy and light, and the music still intrigues and satisfies. But where the first disc was “full of moonlight,” this one is squarely lit by the sun, revealing somewhat sharper edges and brighter energies. …While Light in the Dark stands tall on its own, it also makes an excellent companion to Three for One – almost the yin to the other's yang. The first is perfect for relaxing on the couch, while this new one helps to finally get off it. Either way, this is consistently delicious music, expertly played.” (Dr. Judith Schlesinger)
