Marco Bellafiore – Double Bass
Emanuele Sartoris – Piano
Maurizio Brunod – Guitar & Live sampling
Daniele Di Bonaventura – Bandoneón

To celebrate his 50th birthday guitarist Maurizio Brunod creates a special project in which he reinterprets some of his compositions for the first time, throughout his repertoire.
With a career marked by partnerships with international jazz stars (to name a few: E. Rava, M. Vitous, J. Girotto, J. Surman, A. Balanescu, T. Berne), for this new group he chooses two young jazz talents of the Turin area, the pianist Emanuele Sartoris and the double-bass player Marco Bellafiore. The work with Sartoris and Bellafiore is aimed at a chamber sound and at the same time a psychedelic identity, in order to give a different aesthetic to Brunod compositions.
Their first record will come out in spring 2020, and Brunod has personally chosen two guests to join the trio for the recordings: Daniele Di Bonaventura and Gianluigi Trovesi, musicians with whom Maurizio collaborated in his career and who will also be invited to participate in ad hoc concerts, to create a real “artistic residence” on his compositions.
