Giovanni Guidi: A New Day

Rekindling the familiarly flowing interplay with fellow travelers Thomas Morgan and João Lobo, on A New Day, Italian pianist Giovanni Guidi expands the group’s instrumental grasp with the introduction of American saxophonist James Brandon Lewis. Not only is the ensemble scope widened with Lewis in tow, new dialects and fresh perspectives are broached, and different instrumental paths taken, inspired by an overall heightened sense of communication and his unmistakable, confident tone.
