Bignami Veltri Jazz Ensemble - Non-Places (2026) [Hi-Res]

Italian composers Anna Bignami and Laura Veltri, in collaboration with prominent Danish musicians, are releasing Non-Places, the debut album of their nonet, the Bignami Veltri Jazz Ensemble, via GleAM Records. The concept of the release is inspired by French anthropologist Marc Augé's theory of anonymous transit spaces ("non-places") and explores themes of identity loss, social isolation, and cultural homogenization in the modern world. Musically, the album is rooted in the traditions of contemporary large jazz ensembles, enriched with electronic elements and contemporary classical extended techniques.
