The Depths of Memory
Rockerilla, November 2023

Obbedendo a quel saggio precetto che suggerisce di fare necessità vitù, il sassofonista Kevin Sun ha approfittato del periodo di forzata pausa agli impegni di performer per ripensare in maniera nuova la propria musica e metterne meglio in risalto le peculiarità compositive piuttosto che l'immediato appeal sonoro, per altro sempre e ottimamente assicurato dalle formazioni ai suoi ordini nel corso delle sortite live.

A testimoniare quanto sia stata minuziosa, approfondita e ampia questa sua opera di riflessione/ revisione provvede ora il programma articolato nei tre distinti momenti - From All This
Stillness, Eponymous Cycle e The Depths in Slow Motion - compendiati in un doppio album tanto complesso e ambizioso sul piano progettuale quanto articolato, fluente e accessibile su quello della pura fruibilità.

Non meno rilevante dell'originalità di scrittura di Sun risulta poi il contributo creativo offerto dalla pattuglia di musicisti - il trombettista Adam O'Farrill, il pianista Dana Saul, i bassisti Walter Stinson e Simon Willson e i batteristi Matt Honor e Dayeon Seok - che lo ha supportato nell'impresa, assecondandone e arricchendone i disegni musicali.

La definitiva prova di maturità di UNO TRA I PIÙ TALENTUOSI TENORSASSOFONISTI DELLA SUA GENERAZIONE.

Obeying that wise precept that suggests making a virtue of necessity saxophonist Kevin Sun took advantage of the period of forced break from his commitments as a performer to rethink his music in a new way and better highlight its compositional peculiarities rather than its immediate sonic appeal, moreover always and excellently ensured by the formations under his orders during the live sorties.

The program divided into three distinct moments - From All This Stillness, Eponymous Cycle and The Depths in Slow Motion - summarized in a double album as complex and ambitious on a design level as it is articulated, fluent and accessible on that of pure usability.

No less relevant than the originality of Sun's writing is the creative contribution offered by the group of musicians - trumpeter Adam O'Farrill, pianist Dana Saul, bassists Walter Stinson and Simon Willson and drummers Matt Honor and Dayeon Seok - who he supported in the undertaking, supporting and enriching his musical designs.

The definitive proof of maturity of ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED TENOR SAXOPHONISTS OF HIS GENERATION.
