Starring the multi-awarded vocalist Cleveland Watkiss and pianist Antonio Figura, UKITUSA was recorded in July 2011 in an open, mountainous region of Northern Italy in a peaceful town in the vicinity of Udine. Five musicians from three different countries came together with open ears and hearts to create a special collection of music. The genesis of the band was interesting. Through Antonio Figura, the nuclear member of the group, each of the musicians had some prior contact with at least one other member of the band. The music recorded in those two days demonstrates a shared experience with various improvised and composed music, European, American, African or otherwise. It will be interesting to see how the sound of this band expands in concept and depth as it concertizes. The chemistry among the musicians in the sessions was exciting and full of potential. UKITUSA begins to tell a story of common experience, differing expressions, and all through the desires of five men to communicate their stories. ~ Ishtar.it
Founded by trumpetist Fabrizio Bosso and saxophonist Javier Girotto, Latin Mood features a bunch of great artists. Tango, milonga, chacarera, candombe - everything springs and sparkles under the jazz banner. Launched for the 2006 edition of the Brianza Open Jazz Festival, the quintet has two leaders: Turin native Fabrizio Bosso and Argentinian Javier Girotto (Italian by adoption). Bosso’s hard bop meets Girotto’s latin world on the fruitful soil of improvisation. Featuring original tracks by Javier Girotto, Natalio Mangalavite, and Fabrizio Bosso. At electric bass we have Luca Bulgarelli; Tucci’s drums and Marcozzi’s percussions complete the ensemble. Latin jazz has been influencing jazz and other music genres since years. Think of ‘Spanish Tinge’ by Jelly Roll Morton or Tito Puente’s orchestras or Stan Getz’s great commercial success with bossanova. Boppers also, from Charlie Parker and Bud Powell – with his classic ‘Un Poco Loco’ – to other great musicians (like Mingus, Dorham, Joe Henderson, just to name a few) approached with love, curiosity and respect latin world and its themes.
