About the Album
AFA (Mezza) The Italian word ‘afa’ means sultry weather. The composition was inspired by a Middle Eastern scene on a very hot day where one is not quite sure if there is an oasis in the distance or not. This was the first tune that brought Mark and Vittorio together in a musical sense when they first met in the USA in 2009. Convergence documents a dialogue between two highly individual personalities: Vittorio Mezza, an accomplished jazz performer with strong classical roots and a love for Mediterranean life. And saxophonist Mark Ginsburg, who was shaped by the experience of growing up in South Africa, influenced by the music of his Jewish roots and the heartbeat of Africa. The subtle tension between their differences and similarities makes this collection of ballads and slowburning mood pieces, of pulsating ensemble passages and vocal harmonies feel astoundingly unified.
