Editor's Info:
A documentary soundtrack suspended between literature, poetry, art. And music, this album tells the story of an apparently lost but precious generation. An american and european history bridge, simply following the beat.

The soundtrack of the docufilm “The last beat” by director Ferdinando Vicentini Orgnani continues the collaboration started several years ago with Paolo Fresu.
The musical analysis of the trumpeter alongside his now trusted new trio with Dino Rubino and Marco Bardoscia manages to offer – especially on live occasions – profound perspectives around such a beautiful and discussed theme as that of the much loved beat generation.
To widen the sound plateau was then called Daniele Di Bonaventura whose bandoneon manages to give deep pictorial nuances.
From San Francisco to Sardinia, passing through Rome: it is the parable between music and poetry that he ideally draws Paolo Fresuprotagonist on trumpet and flugelhorn with his new trio – Dino Rubino on piano, Marco Bardoscia on double bass, Daniele Di Bonaventura on bandoneon – of the concert “Ferlinghetti”, named after the poet and editor of the beat generation Lawrence Ferlinghettian American with an Italian father (who died before he was born), to be precise Lombard, and a Franco-Portuguese mother (hospitalized in an asylum when he was only a few months old), a life between France and the USA, before moving permanently to California.
Fresu, ‘king’ of Italian jazz, creator in his Sardinia of the ‘Time in Jazz’ review starting tomorrow, proposes this evening at the House of Jazz in Rome a concert in which the soundtrack of the docufilm ‘The last beat’ by director Ferdinando Vicentini Orgnani, signed by the Sardinian musician. The feature film was designed to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Ferlinghetti, born in March 1919 and passed away in February 2021 on the eve of his 102 years. A long and even ‘wide’ life, marked by his poems and the activity of his publishing house, City Lights, which gives Allen Ginsberg a Jack Kerouac made the literature of the beat generation.

When Euterpe meets Calliope, this could be the story of Paolo Fresu’s latest album, inspired by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, American poet of the Beat Generation and fellow traveler of Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac.
If Ferlinghetti considered that a poem is always a knock on the door of the unknown, Paolo Fresu opens this unknown to us by translating it through the breath.
Who better than the muted trumpet and the bandoneon could join together to render this ode to poetry. These soft breaths shared in an intimate impulse render all the depth of the project and assimilate the exchanged notes to the kissed rhymes.
Supported by a pianist and a bassist who mix their wispy curiosity with the poetic steps laid on the score, the quartet gathered here by Fresu comes to tell a story which, like the one already told for Chet Baker (the Tempo Di Chet record), renews the experience of the musical stylistic monograph.
Conjugated soliloquies (Ferlinghetti), classical inspirations (The Macaronis Scene), nostalgic features (Where Books Were Trees), curious dance (Island of The Mind), farewell gathering (Back Roads To Far Places), it is also a piece of Italian film that scrolls to our ears.
Everything in this recording confined to the delicate breath of sounds, to the freedom of evocations, imposes a reverent listening which allows the discovery of a moment of musical poetry at the same time inventive and outdated.
