Very bold indeed “Breaking News”, the album by Simone Massaron, who plays any kind of electric guitar, variously modified, together with the Nexus duo, (Daniele Cavallanti and Tiziano Tononi) and two avant-gardist pillars, Steve Piccolo and Elliott Sharp. The result is a contagious free jazz, with an eye for no wave and alt rock. It makes one think of those enlightening experiences by certain NY schools of the past twenty years (the Knitting Factory, for example) all of which reaching courageous results, even if sometimes not very enjoyable by traditional taste. Moreover, we are carried to believe that thanks to albums such as this one, the “Made in Italy” has conquered a leading position in the international jazz scene.
