In this article we discuss the recording debut of the Big Man James Trio from Lodi. Giacomo Cassoni (vocals, harmonica and guitar), Federica Rossi (drums) and Michele Zanoni (bass) started playing together just under a year ago and, found immediately the right feeling, they have already given birth to their first album: ANOTHER.The album opens with LOVE IS NOT ALL, a song with a lithe rhythm with a guitar that looks towards the sounds of the Marcus King - John Scofield duo and the rhythm section that sweeps away the blues with confidence. Reckless and enthusiastic, the guitar runs with arms wide open towards that last opportunity and seizes it by pirouetting happily under the moonlight of the second piece.MOONLIGHT is a furious knight who gallops at full rein with his six-stringed lance pointed towards lands of groove & freedom. The result is a scalped rock'n'shuffle that excitedly flaunts all the beauty of playing, having fun and enjoying life. A wild piece that slides along the lines of an incendiary Doorsian-style Roadhouse Blues and that sprints once again in the direction of love, not only towards that for a person, but also and above all towards that for the most faithful music.ANOTHER, the piece that gives the album its title, lowers the pace a little and dyes the melodies blue with an elegiac harmonica at the opening. A catchy and insinuating chorus and refrain that get stuck in your head and swirl along with the amusing jumble of events, objects and feelings mentioned in the lyrics. Another song, another stage, another story and the circle closes and the circle of life begins again and again.SATISFACTION is a song with serene and jovial tones in which satisfaction walks alongside the protagonist in the devil style of Johnsonian memory. However, at a certain point the satisfaction moves away and goes for a walk about his business, but luckily there is always another possibility: the important thing is to always smile so the happiness lasts all day. A festive and prankster piece who takes everything as it happens, strictly with a smile on his face.
Satisfaction guaranteed!It continues with percussion and a circular and fiery bass line for a FUNKY TRIP of pure funk'n'groove. The bass reigns supreme and the guitar unrolls a red carpet of full-bodied and succulent notes under it. A full-blown trip in the colors of George Clinton with the addition of a chorus and a guitar turn that immediately makes 80s dancefloor pop.And after this trip to Funkytown, we move towards the end of the album with the piece entitled WITHOUT YOU. The song has a short guitar riff that recalls Social Distortion's edgier Bakersfield, but seasoned in Hendrix's atmospheric sauce. A sweet text here clashes with a sharp and vibrant guitar, giving life to a piece that takes flight in the central part until it finally levitates with the solo. Cassoni's intense vocality emerges forcefully and here ranges from an almost whispered sweetness to a heartbreaking and shouted desperation. A song that immediately captivates the listener and gains depth listen after listen.Then it's MY CLOUDS which gave the title to Giacomo Cassoni's first solo work. A piece that here rides a country folk pace with harmonious choruses, tasty bass steps and carefree drum trots.The last song we come across in Another is LITTLE CURLY. A song that starts off straight away, with Zanoni and Rossi rhythmically playing soft but square at the same time under a guitar lick with lounge pop contours. So far it appears perhaps as the least consistent piece of the entire work, but this impression reigns only until the sprint of the distorted six strings is triggered which gives the final incisive scratch.BIG MAN JAMES TRIO's debut album is undoubtedly a quality work that flies over the barren prairies of blues, flirts with the lush forests of funk'n'groove and relaxes on the concrete highways of rock. Eight songs born from massive listening to sacred monsters such as Derek Trucks and Jimi Hendrix, sprouted from the touch of the very young Marcus King and moved to the rhythms of John Scofield and Jon Cleary.
Cassoni, Rossi and Zanoni have discovered the perfect formula to create a groove prism with sparkling rock, pop, funk and blues facets.
