Sizzling Enja solo debut by the son of noted Italian trumpeter Pino Minafra, and a member of groups including the award-winning Sud Ensemble. His plays with a fierce intelligence and an overwhelming technique open new spaces for improvised music with a thrilling rhythmic drive.

'Minafra uses contrast as a concept which enhances the attraction of his pieces, vacillating between impressionistic runs and exploding clusters, between single note rows clear like bells and driving chord layers. Abrupt tempo changes, extreme dynamics - it's a conclusive concept and also an expression of a pianist's unstoppable delight.'
