Swiss Radio Days Jazz Series Vol. 50 (Morges 2009)
In July 2009, Dado Moroni’s trio was on the bill of a small festival that was organized at the Hôtel de la Longeraie in Morges, very close to Lausanne, Switzerland. Dado had chosen an indisputable program, sprinkled with the “oldies but goodies” that have always been part of his repertoire and that are all vehicles conducive to transcendental improvisations. Each track has extraordinary vivacity and these innitely melodic-harmonically rich inventions, that seem to spring from the pianist’s head and ngers in an uninterrupted ow of ideas. The presence of double bassist Reggie Johnson and drummer Peter Schmidlin gives an imperial foundation to the ensemble and allows the pianist the wildest ights of fancy, he who loves nothing more than launching into instrumental pyrotechnics when the mood rises slowly but surely... as in their version of "Just One Of Those Things", a tour de force as exhilarating as it is rhythmically overwhelming! Since that glorious evening in July of 2009, Reggie and Peter have sadly left us. It is therefore proper that this recording, the 50th offering of the Swiss Radio Days Jazz Series, honors its creator, Peter Schmidlin, who founded and established TCB - The Montreux Jazz Label. Vol. 50 also marks the 30th anniversary of the Series, the first volume having seen the light in 1994 (Quincy Jones Big Band, Lausanne 1960).
