Fornarelli

18 years after the release of his first album, Kekko Fornarelli returns live in 2023 with a new album, NAKED.

Once again a trio will think of many jazz friends. Indeed, it is even a classical jazz trio consisting of Kekko Fornarelli (piano, synth, samples), Federico Pecoraro (electric bass) and Dario Congedo (drums). But it is not connected to the mainstream, does not try to follow in the footsteps of Garner, Monk or Peterson, is not totally absorbed in American jazz, who considers itself genuine jazz. In the circulating press release on the album, we read the following lines: "A visionary idea beyond genres, beyond form, beyond the music itself, but faithful to Kekko intense soul and his innate vocation to express and communicate it. "This sounds like PR text and stale claptraponism juggling words without really getting to the bottom of Fornarelli's music.
