STEFANO BOLLANI
PIANO SOLO
Availability: Generally Available
Line-up: Stefano Bollani (piano)
Piano Solo, rather than a traditional piano concert, it is an homage to the art of improvisation.
From the very moment Stefano Bollani gets on the stage to perform his one-man show,
anything could happen. There is no set list, no theatre schedule to help follow the tracks
succession. The spectator is dragged into a new adventure every evening, a breathless trip
through (only apparent) far musical horizons. It is therefore no surprise to jump from Bach to
the Beatles, from Stravinsky to Brazilian rhythms, with sudden intrusions in the world of pop
music or in the Italian repertoire of the Forties. In this authentic musical stream of
consciousness, laugh and emotion mix up. Only one thing is guaranteed, that at the end of the
concert the audience will decide for seconds. Bollani diligently writes down and plays the
requested tracks on the spot: an unpredictable medley in which virtuosity mixes up with
irreverence.

STEFANO BOLLANI AND HAMILTON DE HOLANDA
Availability: (Europe: 12-27 July)
Line-up: Stefano Bollani (piano), Hamilton De Holanda (mandolin)
They met years ago and since then have been roaming the world with this lovely combination
of piano and Brazilian mandolin. They released a live recording ‘O que sera’ published by
ECM. Hamilton is a transgressor of the instrument (10 strings mandolin) and creator of a
revolutionary technique, the press in the USA immediately called him "Jimmy Hendrix of the
mandolin", the French "Prince of the mandolin" and the Brazilian "king". Having a profound
knowledge of the tradition of samba, choro and the plethora of other popular music of his
country, he is also an extremely likeable mandolin virtuoso.

just a simple personal tribute. It is a multifaceted concert, an ensemble that sees the
participation of great international talents. First of all, of the composer and saxophonist
Daniele Sepe, one of the greatest exponents of Naples folk music, which is open and filled with
life. And with him, two other great musicians: Nico Gori on the clarinet and Bernardo Guerra

CONCERTO AZZURRO
Availability: Upon Request
Stefano composed the symphonic pièce “Concerto Azzurro” for piano and orchestra in three
movements, commissioned by MDR of Leipzig and arranged by Paolo Silvestri, who had
already worked with him on "Concertone".
Light blue (Azzurro) is the color of the fifth chakra, that of hearing. Light blue tells us: listen to
yourself and to others. And adds: Create! Disobey! Light blue never stops talking. It keeps on
sending messages to remind us that “there is a key to every door” (Robert Musil) and that
“every door is a possibility, not an obstacle” (Charlie Chaplin), but also that “light blue is a color,
and this should be enough” (Julius Caesar).
The meaning of "Concerto Azzurro" has been admirably summarized in a single sentence by
Lucy Van Pelt, Charlie Brown’s friend, who affirmed: “I’ve thought about it a lot recently and
I’ve convinced myself that making the sky blue was a good idea!”

MICHAEL PIPOQUINHA QUARTET
Availability: (Europe: 7-14/19-24 February)
Line-up: Mark Letteri (Guitar), Wes Stephenson (Bass), Jason JT Thomas (Drums)
Michael Pipoquinha is one of the most skilled and virtuous bass players of the young
generation born in late 90s. His playing style and original arrangements incorporate jazz,
world music, and everything that can be learned from the greatest bassists of the Century.
Like all modern bass players, he assumes the Challenge of Pastorius’s legacy noting Jaco’s
recording of Havona with Weather Report (1977 album) as one of his most influential pieces.
Young Pipoquinha evidently captured the essence of this stand out groove and deep melodic
bass line that has inspired generations of musicians. He is now recording his second album,
with eight new songs, and is ready to leave a mark on the world music scene that is warming
up to him. Pipoquinha has just recorded his second album, produced by Sandro Haick.

"NOT A WHAT"
Availability: Generally Available
Line-up: Fabrizio Bosso (trumpet), Aaron Burnett (tenor sax), Giovanni GUIDI (piano),
Dezron Douglas (bass), Joe Dyson (drums)
Giovanni Guidi and Fabrizio Bosso have travelled very different paths: Guidi as piano player,
for many years at the Enrico Rava’s court, after recording four albums for Cam Jazz, landed to
the blazoned ECM, where he already recorded three albums as leader; Fabrizio Bosso
worldwide known for his achievements in his instrument, recorded for Blue Note, Verve and,
currently, for Warner. They met last summer in Italy during the Umbria Jazz Festival, where
they shared the stage, Guidi playing with the Enrico Rava – Tomasz Stanko Quintet, Bosso
presenting his project dedicated to Dizzy Gillespie “The Champ”.
They want to bring their music together, pursuing an idea that could push themselves further
and beyond their personal research. They called three young incredibly talented musicians
from New York to join them in this new project. Aaron Burnett, tenor sax, who is growing fast
in the New York scene (Wynton Marsalis, Esperanza Spaulding, Kurt Rosenwinkel), Dezron
Douglas, a very reliable and propulsive bass player (Ravi Coltrane, Louis Hayes, Cyrus
Chestnut) and Joe Dyson, one of the most valued drummer to-day.
The band, who’s name takes inspiration from the quote by Bill Evans “ Jazz is NOT A WHAT, it
is a how” will be touring in Europe on March 2019.
