Lucia Ianniello - Maintenant (2015)

'Maintenant' is Italian trumpeter and composer Lucia Ianniello's first album as a bandleader, it was inspired by pianist/composer/multi-bandleader Horace Tapscott and the music of the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra.

This unique drumless album is a work of auditory images, atmospheres and soundscapes, with particular exploration of melody and timbre. The quartet offers a "sound chamber" obtained, despite a significant presence of electronic instruments and effects, through the trumpeter's arrangements, characterised by the absence of drums and the use of the instrumental voice without text.
