Felice Clemente Quintet - Way Out Sud (2003)

The quintet was founded in 1998 by Felice Clemente and is made up of prominent musicians of the contemporary jazz scene. A meeting point between artists who have found in music their reason for living, enhanced by the convergence of a plurality of languages in relation to their diverse training (classical music, jazz, Afro-Cuban, etc. …). The quintet is connected by a deeply rooted culture that animates and justifies its music production, thanks to clear references to the mainstream and hard-bop, yet a very modern take.

The project WAY OUT SUD, strongly advocated by the Milanese saxophonist, represents the meeting point between the jazz and Afro-Cuban traditions, intertwined through a profound research and an inspired compositional vein, then finally manifested in the recording of the album “Way Out Sud”, named after the quintet produced by the record label.
