Press release

A new live and CD project (Jando Music/Via Veneto Jazz) born from the collaboration between guitarist Fabio Zeppetella and pianist Dado Moroni, one of the greatest pianists on the international scene. Unreleased music with a strong jazz connotation but with an eye also turned to the typical lyricism of Zeppetella's compositional poetics who signed all the compositions.

Completing the quartet are two giants of their instrument as well as historical figures of Italian jazz: double bass player Ares Tavolazzi and drummer Fabrizio Sferra. Swing and groove are the dominant factors of this project where the energy that is released from the pulsation takes us back to the values and strength of true Jazz and its masters to whom this live is dedicated, including Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk

Marcello Di Leonardo presents his first recording project as a leader (Jando Music/Via Veneto Jazz). One of the most appreciated drummers in the Italian and non-Italian jazz scene, for his first CD he calls upon a jazz legend, the saxophonist Rick Margitza (Miles Davis, Maria Schneider, Steps Ahead), and completes the rhythm section with two masters on their instruments, Dario Rosciglione on double bass and Julian Oliver Mazzariello on piano. Recorded in the Casa del Jazz studios, The Magic Box offers all original songs composed by Di Leonardo that will take us on a journey to the 60s and 70s when jazz was the soundtrack of the most beautiful films (listen to the captivating bossa of PicNic to believe it)

Press release

Giambruno’s noble intention, at the head of this quartet, is to bring out the magic of the Mediterranean charm - while keeping in the full hard-bop groove - as well as the characteristics of the Italian jazz traditions which the trio of Rea, Rosciglione and Ariano manage to interpret so well. 

The musicians chosen by Claudio Giambruno for this project, a saxophonist with a veracious, elegant and generous phrasing - as well as a warming and pervasive sound - possess precise particularities characterising the leader’s aesthetic taste. As far as the repertoire is concerned, it features a number of original pieces by Giambruno’s lush composing vein as well as jazz classics adapted specifically for this ensemble.

Claudio Giambruno’s “Overseas” 4et represents the sublimation of an evolutionary process of growth and maturity experienced first-hand by the Palermitan saxophonist who, supported by a remarkable trio, aims to ultimately legitimise his artistic career.

Press release

 

Cosmonautics as the art of space travel.

This is the metaphor that Riccardo Gola chooses for his first solo album - to be released on the Jando Music / Via Veneto Jazz label - after years of militancy in some of the most creative projects of the new Italian jazz scene.

As composer and bandleader, he offers us an acoustic quartet but with a strongly hybridized vocabulary.

From the very first listening, one perceives the multiplicity of interests and ratings of the eclectic Roman artist (he is also an illustrator and art director) who manages to mix the African-American matrix with a plurality of languages, from rock to electronics, from African music to contemporary classic.

With him a real all-star band of the contemporary Italian scene: Francesco Bigoni on sax and clarinet, Enrico Zanisi on piano and Enrico Morello on drums.

A cohesive group that through improvisation and interplay leads the listener - like good cosmonauts - on a journey into the unknown

Press release

This album contains the music of the concert-tale “Viva / De André “ staged in some of the most important jazz festivals (Umbria Jazz Winter, Südtirol Jazz Festival, Ascona Jazz etc).

On the occasion of the realization of my two books  “Non Per un dio ma Nemmeno per Gioco - Vita di Fabrizio De André e Falegname di Parole - le canzoni e la musica di Fabrizio De André”, I highlighted Fabrizio De André's great passion for jazz.

That's why I decided to re-propose his music in a jazz key, relying on the skill of Luigi Masciari who is the musical director of this project.

A quintet, ours, made up of the best Italian musicians and others, such as Francesco Bearzatti, Giampiero Locatelli, Pietro Iodice, Alfredo Paixão and Luigi Masciari himself. Before entering the room, we received the adhesion of two of the most extraordinary young talents of the current American scene: Giulio Carmassi, known for having been part of the Pat Metheny Unity Group and Michael League leader of Snarky Puppy, as well as winner of four Grammys Award.

Press release

I have always loved jazz, and also always loved the compositions of Italian jazz players, many of whom have been stage mates in these 30 years of my career. 

This is where my idea of creating starts, a sort of "songbook", which I hope will help people to discover how Italian artists are loved all over the world. 

For this project, it came naturally to me to ask an old friend for help, Giovanni Ceccarelli, at the piano and Fender Rhodes.

On the drums there is a drummer who needs no introduction. I think playing with him is the dream of every double bass player, his name is Jeff Ballard who has gladly accepted to be part of this project. 

Last but not least, the voice is Elena Romano, a young Florentine singer and songwriter. 

Special Guest of the album is Rita Marcotulli who plays the piano on her song "Vagabondi delle Stelle" and on the River song.
