"On this record, as on his two earlier ECM releases with his trio, Guidi demonstrates an astute propensity for emotive melodies, a skill that he honed during his years with two of Europes finest creative musicians, trumpeters Enrico Rava and Tomasz Stankoboth masters of space, tone and tension. Similarly, the additional instrumentation on Avec Le Tempsguitarist Roberto Cecchetto and saxophonist Francesco Bearzatti contribute to most tracksonly heightens the kinetic intensity of the albums originals.(...) Like the album opener, the last tune here tugs at the heart. Tomasz, an homage to Stanko, who passed away in July 2018 at age 76, features the trio in an affecting melodic contemplation with an extended outro." (Downbeat)
Debuut van pianist Giovanni Guidi als bandleider. "Once in a while mainstream piano ensembles deliver albums of a stupefying beauty, such as "If" by Myriam Alter, "Le Pas Du Chat Noir" by Anouar Brahem or "L'Arbre Pleure" by Nathalie Loriers. This album belongs to the same category : a chamber music atmosphere, strong melodies, tight compositions, musical tension and variation through smart arrangements, emotional depth, and all this without any pretense (...) Guidi is creative enough with lots of ideas to bring a fresh performance for these strong compositions, even if they are covers of for instance Ornette Coleman's "Round Trip". Guidi is accompanied by Dan Kinzelman on clarinet and sax, Francesco Ponticelli on bass and Joao Lobo on drums. The music is sometimes visually intense and playful like on "Il Campione", or sad such as in "September Never Comes", or menacing such as in "Windmill". Smart, refreshing music." (Freejazzblog)
