Jazz rock was a real significant musical movement, more than a style, that was born in the late '60s by the confluence of artistic jazz to rock. "Electric jazz" is the synonym of this. Jazz rock has been “founded” in the U.S. by the "supreme" Miles Davis, along with other huge personalities such as Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett, Wayne Shorter, Gary Burton, Billy Cobham, Stanley Clarke and so on. In Europe we had the forerunner of the style, Brian Auger, then Zawinul, John McLaughlin, Soft Machine, Nucleus, Ian Hammer, Miroslav Vitous, and so on. In Italy we had Perigeo, Area, Napoli Centrale and notably the band Arti & Mestieri, from the city of Turin where, starting with Arti & Mestieri, from the beginning of the 70's a real interchange of musicians from the areas of jazz and rock has been going on, so that it became a style, a distinctive feature of Turin, defined by critics as "jazz rock school of Turin" and from there came the idea of "Turin Jazz Rock School", or tjrs, a label that brings together more artistic musicians in this common direction.

LIGHT TRIO - GIALLO ITALIANO The CD "Giallo Italiano" is the synthesis of seven years of the Light Trio. The training offers a repertoire of diverse origins, filtered by a slight sound, but of great emotional intensity. An eclectic music, intimate, but with "orchestral" and great rhythmic intensity that enhances the melodic composition that makes this album particularly "Italian".

The references of style

Songs of Light Trio, composed entirely by its leader, pay homage to the language of jazz and Brazilian music, which often recur in the story and the music in the form of songs. Along with these primary influences, traces of ties with all the finest and authentic musical expression of the contemporary age are found, along with the echo of the common classical training.
