Description
Hub Roots was born from the meeting of musicians from different expressive areas who find their perfect musical harmony in a jazz territory of modern matrix, the compositions and arrangements are the result of a musical journey that has its roots in classical music, takes the forms of jazz and flows into a personal language, preferring melody even on complex structures.
An instrumental trio that offers a modern, melodic and captivating jazz album, composed of completely original and unpublished songs and arrangements, a personal synthesis where traditional acoustic sounds are mixed with modulated electronic sounds.
This debut recording project is the result of a first cycle of artistic and professional growth of the trio. Assisted by the friendship that binds them, the members have decided to give space to their creativity and their compositional vein aimed at paying homage to African American music but affirming their identity.
Hub Roots intended as convergence, a connection point, a real fulcrum that joins arrivals and departures from and to everywhere (“hub”) of one’s own cultural and genetic “roots” that ideally start from a small region of central Italy, Abruzzo (note also the phonetic assonance of the pronunciation) and opens towards sound and cultural fields belonging to other times and places.
The project therefore represents a junction point, where the experiences of individuals gives their contribution to the musical idea and then heads in other directions determined by the musical flow, the taste and the improvisation abilities of the performers.
During their career, the members of the trio collaborate with Italian and international artists by participating in international festivals and cultural events, performing in prestigious theaters and clubs in Italy, where the trio resides, and abroad.
