Dino Massa Quartet - Suite Pour Le Piano For Jazz Quartet

Review by Mandy Boles

The Dino Massa Quartet's album Suite Pour Le Piano For Jazz Quartet is a beautiful collection of jazz pieces that showcase the quartet's musical talents. The album features eleven tracks that are inspired by classical piano music and are arranged for a jazz quartet. The quartet consists of Dino Massa on piano, Mark Sherman on vibraphone, Boris Kozlov on bass, and Adam Nussbaum on drums.

The album opens with "Prelude," a gentle piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The quartet's interpretation of "Clair de Lune" is particularly impressive, as they manage to capture the delicate beauty of Debussy's original composition while adding their own unique jazz flair. "Sarabande" is another standout track, with Massa's piano playing taking center stage and Sherman's vibraphone adding a haunting quality to the piece.
