Guitarist Matteo Finali Introduces 5th Album, Disconnections
From the multi-lingual border region of Ticino in Switzerland, 5 musicians share a passion for that post-Miles brand of electric jazz.
To be organized neatly on your shelf marked ‘jazz fusion’, the group displays a shared passion for that post-Miles brand of electric jazz which unites rock, funk, blues, and ethnic music.
“At a time when everyone is seemingly ‘connected’ all the time via their computers and phones, we want to bring a much-needed jolt of energy, reminding people of the importance of disconnecting and enjoying the spirit of live music.”
Their 2017 release Live at Estival Jazz was recorded when the band opened for Mike Manieri’s latest iteration of Steps Ahead at one of Switzerland’s biggest festivals; this 2021 outing sees them back in the studio, adding an extra layer of slick production, colorful effects and bite-sized interludes to the proceedings.
The music is passionate, rhythmic and unashamedly funky, whilst displaying a compositional creativity that underscores the bandleader’s jazz credentials.
