“The first album of harmonica is a celebration with friends, a recovery of certain standards forgotten and an exploration of technique overblow. Without virtuosity, the album captivated by his simplicity and kindness.

By Luis Paz

Buenos Aires, May 16 (agency NAN-2009) .- Sorry readers already know the data and have no desire to reread it, but there is a difference between diatonic and chromatic harmonicas is not as subtle as the existence of “little button “Side that highlights the latter. With you can run basically diatonic notes and major chords. And the color added to the sharps and flats. Therefore, the “little button” allow greater expressiveness. That’s why some are used for rock, reggae, funk and country music, especially, and others for the jazz, blues, bossa nova, klezmer and bluegrass music.

But Mariano Massolo prefers playing all together with the simplicity of a single tool, a diatonic, something equivalent to achieve with six strings but only four full diversity frets of a guitar sound.

Massolo Mariano Quintet, while the name of his first phonograph record and the ensemble he heads, is basically a record of exploration of the possibilities of diatonic with technical resources and overdraw overblow he learned from American harmonica player Norton Buffalo and refined extensively to study with Howard Levy, the “father” of this particular technique.

Through it Massolo reread standards compounds for color and traditional songs, and runs three original creations (“Matt’s Blues”, “Blues del Junco” and “Blues Jerk”) with a swing quite remarkable and a result gentle, subtle and flasher brings a lot but does not reach the virtuosity because Massolo not fall into the abuse.

In this cluster, include the classic version of The Skyliners “Since I Do not Have You” from the few performances with vocals (in this case, Kevin Johansen, with whom he shares Massolo The Nothing) and Massolo own works, rather by the novelty, but most standards are achieved with correction.

The “backing band” is actually a group of friends and a good combination of young players: Ramiro Penovi guitarist, harmonica player Matias Fernandez, Adrian De Felippo bassist, clarinetist Eduardo Prado, Andrés Reboratti flutist, drummer Javier Martinez (is the Manal?) and pianists Patan Vidal and Jorge Navarro.

And yes, of course, the album ends up being a celebration of that friendship, which is clear in two compositions Massolo shared: “Blues del Junco”, half Myndlis Gaby, author of music and television advertising, and dedicated to Carlos del Junco, and “Blues Patan, Patan Vidal shared, musician, friend and friend.
