Alessandro Scala Quartet - Viaggio Stellare (2014)

The new album by Alessandro Scala connects itself to the fertile and alluring scene of contemporary Hard-Bop that is constantly proving its quality with solid results, especially in Italy.

This work is a perfect balance of traditional influences and contemporary inspirations, an intense and fruitful study that leads to a new, rich and articulate way of expression.

Through his original compositions and the intense dialogue with trumpeter Fabrizio Bosso and trombonist Roberto Rossi, Alessandro consciously builds a sparse and sometimes lyrical language, enhanced by the rhythm section provided by Nico Menci, Paolo Ghetti and Stefano Paolini.

The result is vivid and bright.
