On "L'amour dans l'âme", bassist Luigi Trussardi sounds as if he's never happier then when he's driving a piano trio. With drummer Charles Bellonzi in tow, he sets up a harmonic and rhythmically sturdy foundation that gives the pianist all he needs. Trussardi's big, woody tone gives the bottom end a full sound and he walks, runbs and roams freely through the trio landscape. He will occasionnally take the lead both on full bass and piccolo bass wich gives the album a greater sense of diversity.
The one drawback is that all four pisnists he uses are stylistically very similar. They all possess a bop-based virtuosity with subtle differences.Hutman seems the most adventurous of the four, playing lines with cascades of notes that frequently end in a clashing dissonance.? He is a bit reminiscent of Ahmad Jamal.Michel Graillier is strongly rooted in Bud Powell-like fluidity. Alain Jean-Marie is similar with a little more Monk in his playing. Bernard Maury's piano has a darker palette utilizing more "misterioso" harmonies.But, ultimately, all are very similar. Yhe record plays through from beginning to end very seamlessly. I suspect if one were given a blindfold test and played the record through, one would think it's the same pianist throughout. A more Monk-derived or more Cecil Taylor-derived or more Teddy Wilson-derived pianist would have been appreciate. But, as it stands, this is a solid listenable disc, not least because of the first-rate rhythm section work.
