Giammarco Polini & Daniel John Martin - Summer Souvenir (2023)

ANCONA - The encounter between sonorities, great technical ability, attention to detail and melody are the fundamental characteristics of the Summer Souvenirs. The quartet is composed by Giammarco Polini on guitar, Pier Chiaraluce on double bass, Mauro Cimarra on drums and the Frenchman Daniel John Martin on violin.

It is precisely the meeting, which took place in the Marche region between Daniel and the other artists from the Marche region, which makes the Summer Souvenirs a story of exchanges, of passion for that immortal art which is music. “An unexpected meeting that gave rise to great friendships and musical projects. As happens every year now, some summer days frame our Italian-French quartet, jam sessions that last all day, indelible and pleasant memories, unique moments that only music can give us. Jazz has the ability to create deep connections between all musicians of all backgrounds and cultures" says Giammarco Polini.

The Summer Souvenirs, in the homonymous disc published by NÜGO - Records increase the glocal connotation of the musical project, reinterpreting great Jazz standards in a style that blends improvisation with gypsy sounds making everything fascinating and engaging.

“The Summer Souvenirs immediately attracted our attention for their quality, technique and ability to interpret jazz standards in a totally new and original way” say Cesare Sampaolesi and Andrea Elisei, from the NÜGO team. "The idea of working on a project curated by local artists in contact with a high-level international interpreter once again certifies our label among the most innovative and attentive realities of the regional jazz scene and beyond".
