Cabaret Noir - Cabaret Noir [CD]

They are: Pasquale Bardaro (Music & Vibes) and Barbara de Dominicis (Lyrics and Voice). Their debut album features some of the best musicians around both in the jazz or classic music scene: Mirko Signorile (piano), Gaetano Participle (sax), Vincenzo Bardaro (drums), Giorgio Vendola (double bass), Nicola Stilo (flute & guitar), Sabrina Consoli (flute), Alessandro Modesti (trumpet), the strings quartet from San Carlo Royal Theatre (Giovanna Maggio, Daniele Colombo, Fabio Centurione, Pietro Lo Popolo), Simone Barboncini (French horn), Mariano Lucci (bass clarinet) and many others. The arrangement are by Pasquale Bardaro. The tales of "Cabaret Noir" are haunted by paradoxical visions: A collection of melancholic, moody reflections that seem to find their ideology in a film noir... Mellow and sensuous stories but surrealistic and ironic at the same time. Cabaret Noir's atmosphere is an evocative sequence of soundscapes: almost an imaginary soundtrack that has it's roots in jazz.
