\"Tre<\/a><\/p>\n

Questo album \u00e8 stato esplicitamente concepito in occasione dei 40 anni dalla costituzione dei Tre Martelli<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Raccoglie registrazioni live inedite a partire dal loro primo concerto del 1977 via via fino al 2017 ed alcune registrazioni in studio realizzate appositamente per \u201c40 gir\u201d, compresa la title-track nel cui testo si cela la \u201cdichiarazione di intenti\u201d di questo 12\u00b0 lavoro del gruppo piemontese.<\/p>\n

Estrapolare i brani da inserire nello spazio di un cd tra centinaia di ore di registrazioni live effettuate nell’arco temporale di 40 anni non \u00e8 stata cosa semplice, e dunque si \u00e8 scelto di privilegiare quelli inediti nei loro precedenti album, ad eccezione di alcune \u201cversioni alternative\u201d ritenute particolarmente interessanti, ma, soprattutto, come la band afferma: \u201cSono prevalsi fattori emozionali piuttosto che tecnici. Di noi c’\u00e8 la storia, i ricordi, gli errori, le tristezze, le gioie, i sogni.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chi non conosce i Tre Martelli, grazie a questo cd potr\u00e0 scoprirli in modo sintetico lungo tutta la loro storia e la loro evoluzione musicale.
\nChi gi\u00e0 li conosce potr\u00e0 apprezzare brani mai incisi in precedenza e completare una discografia imperdibile per ogni amante della musica tradizionale piemontese.<\/p>\n

Tre Martelli’s new CD!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This album was explicitly conceived for the 40th anniversary of the foundation of Tre Martelli.
\nIt collects unpublished live recordings from their first 1977 concert through 2017 and some studio recordings specially released for “40 gir”, including the title track in which the Piedmontese band show the “statement of intent” of their 12th album.
\nExtrapolating songs to be inserted in the space of a CD between hundreds of hours of live recordings over 40-year time was not easy and so it was preferred to privilege those unpublished in their previous albums with the exception of some “alternative versions” considered particularly interesting, but above all, as the band says:
\n“Emotional rather than technical factors prevailed. There is our history, memories, mistakes, sadness, joys, dreams. ”
\nFor those who do not know Tre Martelli, this cd will help to discover them synthetically throughout their history and their musical evolution.
\nThose who already know them will be able to enjoy songs never recorded earlier and complete an essential discography for any lover of traditional Piedmontese music.<\/p>\n

Well – this is nice.\u00a0 And a rather different sort of compilation … 40 years of work, demonstrated not by ‘our greatest hits’, but by rare and unreleased recordings.\u00a0 And, I would say, there’s very little here that doesn’t stand up to 21st century scrutiny.<\/p>\n

I first encountered I Tre Martelli back in 1983, when they sent their first cassette,\u00a0Trata Birata<\/i>, for review in Folk Roots, as it was back then.\u00a0 Mr Anderson passed it on to me “Since you’ve just been there.” (I’d been part of a ‘Bus-load of Brits’ invited to the\u00a0Cante l’euv<\/i>\u00a0Pace Egging festival in Bra, Piemont, along with Bampton Morris, Flowers & Frolicks and sundry others.)\u00a0 My positive review had two equally positive results; La Ciapa Rusa sent me their first LP to review, and both bands invited me to visit them in Piemont!\u00a0 Something that truly changed my life, and has prompted countless return trips to northern Italy.<\/p>\n

In the intervening years Tre Martelli have produced a dozen LP and CD recordings of their own, plus appearances in some 17 compilations.\u00a0 Inevitably, in a career as long as this, there have been quite a few changes in personnel, and some highs and lows.\u00a0 I recall Enzo Conti sent me a despondent e-mail saying that he was hardly playing at all at that time – the late-ninties, and when I heard that three members of the band had left to join another group a couple of years earlier, I thought that this probably signalled the end of the band.\u00a0 Fortunately, that was not the case.<\/p>\n

Originaly, what I particularly liked about their music was the way in which it seemed to reflect my own, albeit limited, experience of the people of Piemont, the food, the wine, the general ambience of the place.\u00a0 I was also pleased to find that (unlike many bands of the time, both in Italy and elsewhere) they appeared less concerned with technique than with enjoying the music.\u00a0 However, today’s playing and arrangements are of a very high order; the drift from the older, rougher traditional style of music has been accompanied by a quite startling development of technique amongst the older players, and matched by the abilities of the new, younger members.<\/p>\n

So – what do we get here?\u00a0 I’m pleased to see that they’ve resisted putting the selected recordings into chronological order, preferring to produce an interesting running order, and with 21 tracks and almost 70 minutes duration, I’m not intending to comment on each track.\u00a0 What follows are my thoughts on those that I enjoy, or interest me, most.<\/p>\n

All but one of the male vocals come from Chacho Marchelli, whose surefooted yet emotional baritone still charms the birds from the trees.\u00a0 The first song I’d never heard before comes as track 7,\u00a0Mal mari\u00e0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0(The Bad Marriage), sung by Elisabetta Gagliardi, a young friend of Renzo’s daughter, who had joined the band as a last minute replacement during their September 2005 UK tour.\u00a0 So last-minute was Elisabetta’s recruitment that for one song, the Towersey gig was her first public performance.\u00a0 One would never have known!\u00a0 This song may be her first recording with them.<\/p>\n

This is followed by another female singer who ITM fans in the UK may not have heard very much, Betti Zambruno.\u00a0 She’s a long-term member of the music scene in Piemont, and sang with La Ciapa Rusa in earlier years, but only joined ITM fairly recently.\u00a0 Here she does a lovely job on\u00a0Baron Litron<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a>, recorded just this year.<\/p>\n

A nice example of the early sound of the band can be found on track 9,\u00a0Scottish \/ Perigurdino<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a>, from back in 1986.\u00a0 I’m sure you’ll have heard them before, but I love the broken rhytm of the Perigurdino, which also features the additional 4 beats at the end of the parts – something found in a lot of the dance tunes from this area.<\/p>\n

Track 14 is very interesting, in that it features two recordings made at the same venue, but some 38 years apart!\u00a0\u00a0Prinsi Raimond<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0was recorded in the third year of ITM’s existence, and sung (unusually) by Renzo Ceroni, while the second part comes from Chacho.\u00a0 What a lovely little bit of musical history!<\/p>\n

I really can’t leave this brief roundup of the treasures of this CD without a little bit of\u00a0E Ben vena Magg<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0(And Well Comes the May), a great local May song sung by ITM’s first female singer, Bernadette Da Dalt, recorded at the 1986 Pontardawe Folk Festival, during their first UK tour.<\/p>\n

This has been a real delight for me as an old friend of the band … and I’m sure you would enjoy it all, too, even if you’ve never encoutered\u00a0Tr\u00e8i Martej<\/i>\u00a0(Piemontese spelling) before.<\/p>\n
