2023 Abstract Percussionism Andrea Marcelli New ALBUM!Guest Bjarne Roupe`

**Abstract Percussionism – Andrea Marcelli – PRCD 288 / Flipper srl** / Review from the “ALLAN HOLDSWORTH ARCHIVES” by Per Stornes: …The album is highly personal and idiosyncratic, and really like nothing else I’ve ever heard. Andrea’s percussion tracks have traces of African and Brazilian inspiration, while his clarinet playing is melancholic and moody, with Klezmer and Middle Eastern connotations. The compositions are free flowing and feel like they’ve been built on improvisation. This is not a fusion album in the regular sense! It owes more to 70s ECM records. The music has a cinematic feel to it, which is also evident in titles like “Twilight Landscape”, one of my favorite tracks. Bjarne Roupe’s acoustic guitar hints at Ralph Towner in places, while his electric guitar hints at both Holdsworth and McLaughlin. But Bjarne is his own man.The album title is really quite descriptive. The music is percussionistic, and indeed rather abstract… But the drums are groovy! … ultimately it sounds like a very personal statement from Andrea.This album… It is indeed challenging listening at times. But Andrea does it with such personality, conviction and skill that the listener is ultimately rewarded. Have a listen!

Abstract Percussionism (Phantom City) | Andrea Marcelli (bandcamp.com)

Review by Marcello Contu on Jazz Fusion Club. La carriera di Marcelli prosegue negli anni, fino ad approdare ai giorni nostri ad un disco che appare come una autentica sfida nella quale Marcelli è compositore, produttore e soprattutto suona tutti gli strumenti. Nuovi orizzonti espressivi, volontà forsennata di sperimentare, scorgere nuove vie, captare seduzioni mai percorse, intuizioni pure e asistematiche, visioni vividissime: il lavoro di Marcelli rappresenta un capitolo totalmente nuovo ed inedito che mostra un artista mai disposto a cavalcare facili formule del passato, ma che invece mostra un musicista proiettato a scoprire nuove strade compositive ed esecutive: e forse questo è davvero il senso dell’arte.
