現代伊ジャズ・シーンを牽引する最重要プレイヤーの一人、フラテッロ・ジョセフことジュゼッペ・バッシ（b、1972年生/バーリ出身）による、『Just You, Just Me』に続くアルボーレ・ジャズ第2作目。前作同様ドメーニコ・サンナ（p）、そしてあらたにマックス・イオナータ（ts）を迎え、何気ない日常のなかのささやかな愛をテーマにロマンチックなレパートリーを披露する。

This is a record in which we evoke the spirit of love in a time when it seems to have abandoned us. The love for a woman, love for life and its good things, food, travel, colors, humanity and the whole of nature. - Fratello Joseph Bassi

... “Ciao... Amore” documents Giuseppe’s ongoing development as a player and composer. He has chosen his music-mates well: the fine pianist Sanna, full of rich ideas, beautiful pianistic touch, and abundant, and relaxed, technique: never grandstanding or showing off, but always in the service of the music. Saxman Ionata has great emotional range in his playing, and a warm and engaging sound that constantly has you on the edge of your chair wanting to hear where he will go next. Again, like Sanna, lots of technical skill but always serving the music. ... I would say the greatest compliment I could give is that no one in the trio sounds like a copy of someone else: yes, you hear the influences, the tradition - and that’s as it should be. But beyond that, each man has developed his own sound and beautiful voice. I could listen (and will) to this album over and over again. Welcome to “Ciao... Amore.” - Liner notes by Bill Mays
