Under the name Daniel Curtis Trio, Carlo Matti lets jazz take the lead, gentle, sincere, luminous. A classic piano trio born from love for Bill Evans, Ahmad Jamal, Chet Baker and Keith Jarrett, this project wanders through the Eternal City with a poet’s soul and a composer’s grace.

Every piece of the latest album is a postcard from Rome, hand-written in melody.

There is no rush, no spotlight, only a soft gaze on fountains at dusk, lovers in Trastevere, shadows beneath Colosseum arches, and silent reflections in shop windows after closing.

The trio’s interplay, piano, double bass, and drums, unfolds like footsteps echoing across marble and memory.

From the luminous ballad Reflected to the joyful Campo dei Fiori, from the moonlit nostalgia of Bridge Serenade to the peaceful intimacy of A Walk in Villa Borghese, each track is a story told without words, a still frame of a living city.

The music doesn’t seek to impress, it offers presence.

Like the Roman evening itself, it wraps around the listener with warmth and understated elegance.

With Daniel Curtis Trio, Carlo Matti invites us to rediscover jazz as a language of longing, simplicity, and deep observation.

Not just a tribute to the greats, but a continuation of their spirit, set among piazzas and ancient stones, where silence and sound belong to the same breath.
