Review
from Drum Club (Italy)
By
Silvio Angelini
Year:1998
Title:"111"
Produced by Sergio Bellotti
Sergio Bellotti was
born in BARI in 1968 and started the drums at the age of 16. He plays around
the area, moves to TORINO in 1990 where he studied with Enrico Lucchini,
then he plays on cruise ships until 1994 and finally gets to America. He
wins a scholarship at BERKLEE college in 1995 where he studies with Kenwood
Dennard and John Ramsay, he plays with the Jim Kelly trio and in 1997 he
releases this Cd featuring also
Bruce Gertz (that we find on this
cover of "SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME") and Jim Kelly (featured
on "SON FINITE LE VERGINI" and "MALAFEMMENA"). Sergio distinguishes himself
as a very powerful and sensitive drummer at the same time in a pleasant
variety throughout the entire cd. He hits very hard when necessary as in
"THE NUMBERS OF THE BLUES" in collaboration with an "on fire" ROLAND dr.
5 or in "LAKESIDE SHUFFLE" or in the wonderful and spontaneous solo "25
By 11". This is Sergio: spontaneous, he beats the drums and easily play
them to accomplish all his rhythmic ideas. Fast, not super precise, but
always "damn" spontaneous. Sergio plays for real and sings as well, on
"MAKE THE HI-HAT DANCE". On the album we find also TINO D`AGOSTINO, BLAKELY
BERGER, BRUCE GERTZ on bass, NICOLAS MEIER, JIM KELLY, RAY OBIEDO on guitars,
BILL VINT, NORBERT STACHEL, PALOMA OHM on saxes, CHRIS WALLER vocalist
on "WHAT`S GOING ON " and "RIBBON IN THE SKY" with the beautiful and romantic
piano played by RON POSTER. MARCO BELLOTTI, SAMOA WILSON on vocals, JESUS
DIAZ on percussion and also the "virtual collaboration" with KENNY BARRON
on "C JAM BLUES". All this makes the cd very interesting, different and
very much "ITALIAN". Listen to MALAFEMMENA, written by TOTO`, and played
by Sergio and his band live in Boston in perfect funky fusion style....a
pleasant revelation. Sergio is a truly enthusiastic of the drums, and also
a friend that will send you his Bio on a pizza's place flyer, and call
from Boston to check if you received his cd, that will play "funiculi`
funicula`" as the last song, with the crowd applauding the show. Sergio
is a pure enthusiast of the instrument. All he wants is to play and break
through the hard world of the international music scene. He knows jazz,
he is pleasant, a true "Italian in America"who took risks and chances like
this cd.
