Echoes of Svensson and Jarrett may be perceived in the distance, yet always filtered through Lorenzo De Finti´s unmistakably personal voice.

Backlash of Uncertainty is the fourth release by the Lorenzo De Finti Quartet. The ensemble made its debut in 2016 with We Live Here, followed by Love Unknown in 2018 and Mysterium Lunae in 2022. Over the course of this consistent and ever-evolving journey, the Milanese pianistand composer has steadily refined his musical language.
Alongside De Finti are three outstanding musicians who are fully attuned to the sonic universe he has imagined. The rhythm section features Stefano Dall'Ora, co-band leader and co-author of the compositions, whose contribution has been crucial to the quartet's inspiration since its very beginning. As always, he is particularly evocative in his bowed passages and in the wise use of electronics, over which Marco Castiglioni's drumming fits perfectly, providing a varied, original foundation that continually opens space for dialogue.
Completing the ensemble, in contrast to the classic piano trio format associated with Svensson, are the trumpet and flugelhorn of Alberto Mandarini - one of Europe's most respected trumpeters and widely acknowledged as a distinguished heir to the 'Kenny Wheeler sound.' Together, the quartet has forged a collective voice in which melody reigns supreme, suspended between balance and tension, chamber-like delicacy and sudden eruptions of energy.
One of the album's most striking moments is 'Occam's Razor', a luminous piece that dissolves into silence before reappearing, a few seconds later, in a collective improvisation captured spontaneously during a soundcheck. This unexpected coda encapsulates the quartet's spirit offreedom and almost telepathic rapport.
With Backlash of Uncertainty, the Lorenzo De Finti Quartet affirms its artistic maturity. Thismusic looks ahead without forsaking its roots, transforming the uncertainties of the present into a listening experience which is not just deeply and sincerely felt but also profoundly rewarding.
