Paolo Fresu

Cultivated rereadings and pearls of European musical history make up the jazz album for connoisseurs that is Two Minuettos, the third one made together by Paolo Fresu and Uri Caine, who occasionally take the luxury of a collaboration that goes beyond the simple musical question ; the album is in fact a dissertation on grace, elegance, the beauty of music, in a journey that ranges from Bach to Gershwin, from Mahler to Lauzi and Lennon, passing through the figure of Barbara Strozzi. And to add atmosphere to the superb choice of songs, the fact of live performance; it is in fact a live, recorded on the occasion of the three Milanese concerts that the duo held at the Teatro dell'Elfo from 27 February to 1 March 2015.

"Norma” is the new album by Paolo Fresu with the Orchestra Jazz del Mediterraneo and Paolo Silvestri and is scheduled for release on October 18th on the trumpeter’s label Tǔk Music.

Already protagonist of the inauguration of Crossroads 2017, just at Casalgrande, Paolo Fresu returns with his Devil Quartet to kick off also this new season of the traveling festival. But in the meantime the band's music program has been completely renewed, thanks to the tracks of the new recording project Carpe Diem, composed for the most part by the members of the group and from which transpires a particular attraction for the cantability of the ballads. But there is also a dedication to the Rolling Stones. A breakthrough and acoustic turning point for this wonderful band, that explores new roads, from soap opera to Rimbaud…a crazy journey for this evil quartet.

Paolo, Marco and Dino celebrate the myth of Chet Baker with original tunes and some of his favorite standards. "Tempo Di Chet" is also and especially the intimate and delicate soundtrack of a play dedicated to the legendary Chet Baker.

The soundtrack of the docufilm “The last beat” by Director Ferdinando Vicentini Orgnani continues the collaboration begun several years ago with Paolo Fresu.

A tribute to the one and only Miles Davis, perfectly divided in two groups: Shadows and Lights, acoustic and electric, ballads and bangers all together in this emotional music.

After a highly successful tour, Shades of Chet was released in 1999. This album is an absolute reference album for Italian jazz.

Nguyên Lê's collaborates with vocalist Ngô Hồng Quang on Hà Nội Duo, an apparent study in contrasts as the two Vietnamese artists could not have had more different upbringings and musical education. And yet they found they had common goals, to express and share the soul of Vietnam with the wider world, bringing together the roots and the future of Vietnamese music. They each contribute three original songs to the album, rounded out by four traditional numbers. The duo is joined on various tracks by trumpeter Paolo Fresu, koto player Mieko Miyazaki and tabla player Prabhu Edouard.

The new faces of German Jazz: This is how the German magazine stern referred to triosence, the trio formed in 1999 by Bernhard Schüler (piano), Omar Rodriguez Calvo (bass) and Tobias Schulte (drums).
