For Ralph Alessi this is a debut in grand style on the CAM Jazz catalog. The New York trumpet player takes a decisive step forward in his productions with “Cognitive Dissonance”. Alessi’s trumpet strikes from the first moment you hear it: a clear instrumental voice, unique, made even more extraordinary by a vocabulary full of subtleties. He moves with great ease both on the chords as well as on the open forms; his continual inventions justify, in every moment, the wilfulness and the right that this musician has to be absolutely himself, through a surprising and systematic refusal of the obvious, both in rhythmical-harmonious textures as well as in melodic designs. In the incomparable drumming of Nasheet Waits, Alessi finds a precious ally, capable of inventing and destabilizing the leader’s project with his virtuous rhythms and his unique colors, in perfect tuning with the solid and fanciful Drew Gress, without forgetting Jason Moran, a lyrically melodic pianist who, chorus after chorus, is able to extract from his instrument something very unique.

A strong proponent of the avant-garde jazz scene, trumpeter and occasional bassist Ralph Alessi first began studying classical trumpet with his father. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, Alessi eventually found freelance jobs with various chamber ensembles as well as work with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. During the mid-'80s Alessi attended the California Institute for the Arts where he studied with bassist Charlie Haden and performed with various jazz luminaries, including saxophonist Bill Perkins and pianist Frank Strazzeri as well as Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra. In 1990, armed with a B.F.A. degree in jazz trumpet performance and an M.F.A. degree in jazz bass performance, Alessi moved to New York City. Since then he has performed with such longtime collaborators as saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, pianist Uri Caine, and saxophonist Steve Coleman.
