Conosco Mario Biasio e il suo lavoro con l'Erios Jazz Orchestra sin dall'inizio del 2018. Da allora ci siamo incontrati in diverse occasioni, avendo la possibilità di ascoltare la sua musica e vedere come l'evoluzione del suo suono, in tutti i sensi, si è trasformata in qualcosa di potente, preciso, armonioso e bello. I solisti dell'Orchestra sono cresciuti e, sempre di più, si stanno trasformando in musicisti con un linguaggio proprio, solido. La Erios Jazz Orchestra, formata quasi da tutti i giovani musicisti che ho conosciuto sette anni fa, suona assemblata, con molte sfumature e rispettando il suono della musica di Kenny Wheeler. I solisti brillano con le loro partecipazioni e tutti loro sono giovanissimi musicisti che dimostrano con la loro qualità che la musica jazz è molto viva. In sintesi, congratulazioni per questo lavoro meraviglioso, a tutta l'orchestra e in particolare al suo direttore Mario Biasio, per il suo lavoro
in questo cd, per la sua costanza e per trasformare i suoi sogni in realtà.

Kenneth Vincent John Wheeler, OC (14 January 1930 – 18 September 2014) was a Canadian composer and trumpet and flugelhorn player, based in the U.K. from the 1950s onwards.
Kenny Wheeler did not like to label, or as he sometimes put it ‘pigeonhole’, music. His music and his playing spanned many genres. He was undoubtedly rooted in jazz while he also loved free improvisation. He occasionally contributed to rock music recordings and was influenced by the world of classical music. He especially loved listening to Paul Hindemith, Igor Stravinsky, Maurice Ravel, Claude Debussy and J.S. Bach. He composed prodigiously throughout his career and was a skilled arranger for small groups and large ensembles. At the time of his passing he was the patron of the Royal Academy Junior Jazz course

In his music, trumpet, flugelhorn, and composition merge in a singular voice, weaving together intricate structures with deep melodic sensitivity. The project features a selection of pieces from his repertoire such as SOPHIE and KAYAK alongside The Sweet Time Suite, all by Kenny Wheeler.

ERIOS JAZZ ORCHESTRA
I have known Mario Biasio and his work with the Erios Jazz Orchestra since the beginning of 2018. Since then, we have met on several occasions, giving me the opportunity to hear his music and observe how the orchestra’s sound has developed into something powerful, precise, harmonious and beautiful. The soloists have grown and are increasingly becoming musicians with a strong language of their own.
The orchestra plays as a cohesive ensemble, with many nuances and respect for Kenny Wheeler’s sound. Its young soloists shine, demonstrating through the quality of their playing that jazz is very much alive. Congratulations to the whole orchestra and especially to Mario Biasio for this wonderful recording, his perseverance and his ability to turn his dreams into reality.
