About The Album
“Figli Forever” , Andrea Bonioli's third album, continues a series of "concept albums" following on from his acclaimed recordings “Today. The Commercial Album" and “Pop" .
The work explores the concept of always being a child, and remaining so even when you become a parent, for life; remaining faithful and attached to something primordial, despite the vicissitudes one experiences.
The melodic line is always very clear and central in all the compositions in which rather rhythmic moments alternate with more dreamlike and relaxed climaxes.
The composer leaves a lot of space to all the musicians who took part in the making of the disc itself, rarely allowing himself any solo space, always preferring total and continuous interplay.
Finally, for the first time, there is a cover, a famous song by Floyd, in which the theme is entrusted to the guitar together with the vibraphone, a very happy combination in fact also present in the song that closes the disc.
Rather distant from the stylistic features of bebop, "Figli forever" combines styles from popular music, rock, prog declined through the jazz language.
