Suite For Jazz Quartet
After years of productions and concerts based on an electric kind of jazz, I really felt
like I needed to turn the page and begin a new chapter in my musical adventure. I was looking for an acoustic atmosphere, for silence, for the right sound. I wanted a line up that could help me reach the intensity of a classical chamber ensemble. What came from this exercise is this Suite for Jazz Quartet. It took a lot of work to get there, but we are very happy with the final result. Writing, rehearsing and playing We Live Here took us into a musical space closer to classical music
than jazz, although the final product, as someone has said, is 'pure modern jazz'.
Recorded in the fantastic atmosphere of the RSI STUDIO 2 in Lugano, the Suite was
composed by double bass player/composer Stefano Dall'Ora and myself. Playing with him, Marco Castiglioni, and Gendrickson Mena created a wonderful interplay in the Quartet. It was this marvelous collaboration in both the written and improvised sections that enabled us to achieve the sound we only held in our
minds when we began the recording session. I'm grateful that Losen Records noticed that and gave us the opportunity to reach out to northern Europe with our music. So take your time, turn down the lights, and try to enjoy the whole Suite without interruption. Something very beautiful might happen...
