Produced by Dodicilune distributed in Italy and abroad by IRD and in the best online stores by Believe Digital, Aliquid novi by the quintet led by Stefano Savini will be released on Tuesday 17 November. In the eleven original compositions the guitarist is joined by Giacomo Uncini on trumpet, Davide Di Iorio on flute and soprano sax, Mauro Mussoni on double bass, Andrea Grillini on drums and, in three songs, by the voice of Sara Jane Ghiotti. «A mature, articulated and well written work and all the musicians of the quintet play well», summarizes Paolo Fresu.

«This new album of mine is centered on research and on a precise conviction», underlines Savini. "The musician's job is to personalize an idea, seeking originality in his own musical art, digging into his own interiority openly without hesitation and fear, even outside the standards required by the public. I believe that this is the true nature of the artist, which excites and entertains. As far as I'm concerned, I always try, the result is this new music of mine that draws from the most important sources of jazz, and then crosses over many styles that have always influenced me such as classical music, popular tradition, certain music of ' use and the unconscious instinct of an experimenter, as I feel », says the musician and composer.

«Often the musical compositions are evocative, and what is invoked sooner or later arrives. Stefano Savini knows this and, through the sacredness that musical instruments have always kept in them, recalls, in a unicum, in an exclusive event, presences, atmospheres, geographies, climates, even far from each other ", he writes in the notes of cover the poet, narrator, painter, art theorist, playwright, performer Gian Ruggero Manzoni. “Each composition is, in this way, a song, and the sound, in itself an abstract component, gradually charged with such poetic ensembles, also takes shape, takes on the appearance, giving us vision. Stefano Savini composes music, evokes, as usually the word can do, and, moreover, creates images, so that his expressive process encompasses more arts, more disciplines, pursuing a work that, already in antiquity, alchemically , was rightly defined: total ».
