FABRIZIO GRACEFFA BAND - FULL JAZZ

THE FABRIZIO GRACEFFA BAND PRESENTS ORIGINAL MUSIC INSPIRED BY THE MODERN JAZZ GUITAR TRADITION. A GUITARIST AT THE CROSSROADS OF CONTEMPORARY JAZZ AND IMPROVISED MUSIC, FABRIZIO GRACEFFA DEVELOPS A PERSONAL MUSICAL UNIVERSE DEEPLY ROOTED IN CONTEMPORARY JAZZ. HIS COMPOSITIONS ARE INSPIRED BY THE AESTHETIC WORLDS OF PAT METHENY, KURT ROSENWINKEL, BILL FRISELL, AND OTHER INFLUENTIAL VOICES OF MODERN JAZZ GUITAR, WHILE REMAINING FIRMLY ORIGINAL IN BOTH FORM AND INTENT. RATHER THAN REVISITING EXISTING REPERTOIRE, THIS PROJECT FOCUSES ON ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS THAT EXPLORE MELODY, LYRICISM, AND OPEN SOUNDSCAPES, COMBINED WITH RHYTHMIC SUBTLETY AND EXPRESSIVE FREEDOM. FABRIZIO’S WRITING REFLECTS A STRONG NARRATIVE SENSE, WHERE AIRY TEXTURES, DYNAMIC CONTRASTS, AND EMOTIONAL DEPTH COEXIST WITH MOMENTS OF INTENSITY AND COLLECTIVE IMPROVISATION. FOR THIS PROJECT, HE IS JOINED BY A TOP-LEVEL QUINTET OF LEADING MUSICIANS FROM THE EUROPEAN JAZZ SCENE: JEAN-PAUL ESTIÉVENART ON TRUMPET, NICOLA ANDRIOLI ON PIANO, FEDE PECORARO ON ELECTRIC BASS, AND ADRIEN VERDERAME ON DRUMS. EACH MUSICIAN BRINGS A DISTINCT VOICE, CONTRIBUTING TO A RICH AND BALANCED GROUP SOUND SHAPED BY LISTENING, INTERACTION, AND MUTUAL TRUST. TOGETHER, THE BAND BRINGS THESE COMPOSITIONS TO LIFE WITH ELEGANCE, ENERGY, AND CREATIVE INTERPLAY. THE MUSIC UNFOLDS AS A VIBRANT AND POETIC JOURNEY, INVITING THE AUDIENCE INTO A CONTEMPORARY JAZZ LANDSCAPE THAT HONORS ITS INFLUENCES WHILE ASSERTING A CLEAR AND SINGULAR ARTISTIC IDENTITY
