The quartet plays a repertoire ranging from great classics of the Italian swing era, made famous in the world by artists like Mina, Carosone, Buscaglione and many others, up to songs of contemporary composers and originals.
Not just a tribute to the great, but also a personal reading that reflects many influences that have characterized the evolution of jazz, from swing to various latin rhythms. All songs are rearranged specifically for this formation, leaving much room for improvisation, making every concert unique and engaging.
