Massimo
Izzizzari is a superb guitar talent that
is responsible for many of the guitar parts
you hear countless times a day on radio
and television worldwide. Yet it’s
with “Unstable Balance” that
the world at large will get a taste of Massismo
at play in his own back yard.
“Unstable
Balance” is an unashamedly purely
instrumental album with some funk rock influences
and is both melodically rich and technically
advanced. This is a shred rock / funk oriented
guitar album and combines a variety of other
genres including jazz, rock, funk and metal
and showcases free musical expression from
Massimo and his band.
On
the album Massimo comments, “The main
purpose was to create some song with a balanced
combination between melody and technique
on structures not so complicates in which
the other musicians can express your selves
freely”. When quizzed on his favourite
moments on the album Massimo responded,
“My song “Access denied”,
guitar solo on “Wordgame” and
the last track “Teresa” dedicated
to my daughter”.
Influenced
by Greg Howe, John Scofield, Robben Ford
and many others, Massimo takes these influences
and turns them into his own unique blend
which brings a fresh new mix to the guitar
instrumental genre.
