Enrico Tomasso: Al Dente – review

Trumpeter Enrico Tomasso's belated solo debut is a beauty, writes Dave Gelly
  
  


You've probably heard trumpeter Enrico ("Rico") Tomasso already, without knowing it. Like many top jazz musicians, he often turns up on soundtracks and albums, most recently Bryan Ferry's The Jazz Age. This is his belated solo debut, and it's a beauty. It is a mark of true distinction when a jazz trumpeter plays with such fluency and apparent ease that you listen to the music and not to the technique. That's what happens in these elegant improvisations on 12 well-chosen standards, deftly accompanied by John Pearce on piano, with bassist Andrew Cleyndert and drummer Bobby Worth.
