Living

By this difficulty, and proves himself to have arrived at that state coveted by all improvisers, in which the melody is naturally formed by the thought and expresses itself through the instrument with the immediacy of singing. Bertelli has an attention to detail characteristic of only the greatest musicians, and an extraordinary intensity that denotes generosity and depth. Living features several important guests, whose participation demonstrates the high esteem in which they hold Bertelli and his work. The fine arrangements of pianist Piergiorgio Pirro; the round, warm sound of Gabriele Evangelista's double bass; the discreet, refined rhythms of drummer Stefano Tamborrino; flutist Nicola Stilo; and trombonist Roberto Rossi's solos on Funk in Deep Freeze and Waiting all serve to complete Bertelli's design.
