Opening Act for Colapesce e Di Martino
We had the honor of opening for the renowned Italian duo Colapesce e Di Martino, sharing our unique jazz-funk-rock fusion with their audience.
Thomann x Shure Selection
Selected among the top 10 bands by Thomann x Shure to participate in the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival, recognizing our innovative approach to music.
European Festival Circuit
We've performed at Umbria Che Spacca, Suoni Controvento, Fara Music Festival and numerous other European festivals, bringing our distinctive sound to international audiences across the continent.
Trumpet
The highest note of the group, teacher at Pistoia Blues Clinic, collaborating with Nico Gori and Massimo Moriconi. It's said he knows by heart all the censored songs in history.
Tenor Saxophone
The poetic voice of the band, there's no marching band in central Italy that hasn't had him as a conductor. He has played with Fabrizio Bosso, Stefano Di Battista, Roberto Gatto and many others. Legend has it his solo on 'Bright' originally lasted 37 minutes.
Baritone Saxophone
Mr. Funk himself. He plays 9 days out of 7 and knows by heart all the ballroom dance songs ever written. Every day he tries to convince the group to play the Polkissima. With poor results.
Guitar
Founder and main composer of the group, he has a disgusted face for every note he plays (so 5, one for each note of the E Minor pentatonic). He plays and writes for numerous local artists including Frammenti and Lagoona.
Keyboards
Classical and jazz pianist, harmony transformed into a musician. He has played with Joseph Bowie, Silvia Bolognesi, Fabrizio Bosso and many others. If you hear big sighs or someone humming during live performances or on albums: it's him.
Bass
Umbrian-London bassist, he knows every detail of melody, harmony, rhythm and arrangement, but decided to play bass so as not to make the others feel inadequate. He's been trying to organize a football match for 15 years but hasn't succeeded yet.
Percussions
If you see flying percussion instruments, or someone dancing, shouting and putting on a show, it's him: our percussionist. At every live show he tries to stage dive, but always gets stopped by the rest of the group.
Drums
There's no Umbrian group he hasn't played with. Every 4/4 piece with him becomes a gargantuan feat of difficulty, between rhythmic decompositions and modulations. He played with Ricky Portera, Frammenti, Sacromud and many others. We still haven't figured out if his name is Alessio or Luca.
