Master pianist, New York-based, originally from Argentina, Leo Genovese, just won a grammy as a ‘Best Improvised Jazz Solo’ - an award considered by many as ‘mainstream’. This certainly did not stop his creative path, only to encourage him towards further researching creative music. His debut album ‘The Art of Not Playing’ with fellow musicians John Lockwood on bass and drummer Nat Mugavero proves it. The trio celebrates the practice of disappearing during the process of creating. Trusting the ‘I don't know part of the music’ or better, not being in control of the so-called music that is created. These individuals come together to explore what else besides music can be done with musical instruments. Can artists play the "I don't know"? Can they let go of the rules of music and play by ‘not playing’ their instruments? Are they capable of listening beyond what the group is playing in that specific moment? If we could remove elements of music, what could we end up with? The result is a doorway to the unknown: Leo Genovese, John Lockwood, and Nat Mugavero have created an album that could be the perfect soundtrack to a Michelangelo Antonioni’s movie, where shadows and mist surround our dreams, fears, and freedom.
