GIANLUCA PETRELLA – COSMIC RENAISSANCE
GIANLUCA PETRELLA – trombone and electronics
MIRKO RUBEGNI – trumpet
BLAKE FRANCHETTO – bass
FEDERICO SCETTRI – drums
SIMONE PADOVANI – percussions
One of the most complete and well-made projects from Petrella, also from a discographic point of view (the vinyl released with the brand Spacebone Records in June 2016), this quintet doesn’t only limit itself to Petrella’s beloved jazz roots, but it explores R&B, the depths of Black Music and most of all electronic, which has a fundamental weight and traces an essential continuum with the leader’s latest productions. A dense work, but at the same time with great breath, illuminating rhythmic intuitions, powerful echoes and scratching passages of the two winds (together with Petrella’s trombone there is Mirco Rubegni on the trumpet), which squeeze, penetrate and leave an indelible mark. The quintet (Blake Franchetto, Federico Scettri and Simone Padovani, also to be mentioned), born from the previous Cosmic Band, but independent creature from the start, it achieves a rare and perfect harmony with the disc, a colorful and deep fullness of sounds and an engaging, ironic style , simply spatial.
