Coffee in Neukölln
BAROCK PROJECT is the name of an Italian Progressive rock band, made of young but very experienced musicians. They are led by keyboardist virtuoso Luca ZABBINI, who composed a concerto for piano and saxophone, a true sign of excellent musical abilities ! Their project is described by themselves, "To spread the finest and perfect structure of classic music (Mainly baroque music) with a rock style, and a little bit of jazz harmony, all supported by a pop song structure". "Misteriosevoci", published in the year 2007 on the Musea label, fits this sentence well. Here are eleven symphonic songs, with dominating keyboards but also fine guitar parts, without mentioning a powerful rhythm section and a good singer, expressive but not too much. The influences of EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER is quite evident, especially in the opening track, but BAROCK PROJECT has found a true identity of its own, based on strong melodies, and keyboards parts full of sensibility. A very mature work, modern and full of promises ! During the composition process for its third album, BAROCK PROJECT took the time to have a drink in one of Berlin"s most famous quarters, to discuss the ravages made by History to this city divided for so long. The result of this happened to be an opus aptly titled "Coffee In Neukölln" (Musea, 2012). Musically speaking, the listener will find himself at home, even if the symphonic side seems to slightly overcome the usual rock structure. And there"s surely nothing to complain here !
