Triologos - Tracce Di Canti (Traces of Chants) (2015)

A collection of eight ethnic-based compositions from seven different countries by a trio of conventional form – sax, bass, drums, but with a very distinctive approach to their music. Each member has a positive role in the music creation, resulting in a style of performance that grabs the listener's interest on different layers.

This collection, recorded August 2014, is the outcome of years of work by the trio towards a fresh style of world music in jazz.
