Recorded in the classic, jazz trio formation, it moves between styles while at all times maintaining the warm and pulsating swing theme… alternating pieces like "Lua Branca", with its soft Brazilian sounds, to the frantic "Lines for RG", to the 'lyrical' "Aniram", to the ultra fast "Traversi's blues"… all conceived through a 'modern' bop concept which is alternated by more melodic and lyrical moments.

The pianist Andrea Beneventano, who presents seven of his compositions, is supported by two excellent artists: Pietro Ciancaglini, a double-bass player gifted of a great melody fantasy during his solos, as well as of exceptional "drive" when in accompaniment, and Pietro Iodice, at the drums, the "essential engine" of the trio, who, with his great swing and musical maturity, is able to tie together all the other artist's pieces, underlining their ideas.
