Sketches of Corsica, the Mediterranean and the wider world abound in this fascinating collaboration between lyrical Italian jazz improvisers Paolo Fresu and Daniele di Bonaventura and vocal ensemble A Filetta. Mistico Mediterraneo is the first documentation of an alliance that has been gathering momentum for a few years already; it is also the ECM debut of the Corsican singers.
Roughly a third of the material points at a unit going places special but overall the album still sounds of somewhat predictable, slightly credible, but mostly tired, late night, light-jazz, solo trumpet work.
