Press release

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).
