Award-winning trumpeter and composer David Buchbinder teams up with a crew of top Jazz and World musicians to present this exhilirating, unprecedented project of musical discovery: the Jewish-Cuban connection. David Buchbinder’s Odessa/Havana presents “delicately textured and dazzlingly music,  that is “passionate, powerful and irresistible.” A truly original sound. Between the writing of Buchbinder and Grammy-nominated Cuban piano master Hilario Durán, and the band of killer musicians, these forces take audiences on a journey of cross-cultural discovery, that consistently engages, challenges and delights.

Odessa/Havana’s two CDs have been hailed as outstanding in both the World Music and Jazz realms. Walk to the Sea was recently honoured with a JUNO Award (Canadian Grammy) and the group’s self-titled debut CD nabbed a Canadian Folk Music Award

While the cities and cultures of Odessa and Havana might seem many miles apart, their musical associations are many-faceted, multi-layered and rich indeed; rooted in their common ancestry in medieval Andalusia and sharing Arabic, Roma (Gypsy), Sephardic and North African forbearers. Buchbinder and Durán’s compositions explore these commonalities as they break new ground.

Mark Kelso: Drums, Bata, Percussion

Independent Singer, Songwriter and Rap Poet.

I was signed with an independent music label in London, until I decided to leave due to being disenchanted with the industry. That and what was going on in my personal life, led me to start questioning my purpose and my whole existence really. 

Depression kicked in but it was a blessing, as it helped me noticing the self sabotaging behaviours, traumas and toxic thought patterns that had been running my life since childhood. Thanks to that breakdown, I discovered that I had a big unnoticed spiritual side, so I made my mission to explore it, as well as doing all the necessary inner work, in order to free myself from past traumas. I also discovered that I'm a Starseed, and this was a real turning point. The healing took years, and I stopped making music while at it. That said, it transformed who I was into who I am nowadays. 

Truth is I felt that music was over for me for years, when I suddenly had an itch again, discovering my own style in the process, including rapping skills that came out of the blue. I also started to mix my Starseed side with my art, by adding Angelic Reiki (I first mixed it with my paintings and then with my songs).

All this long and exhausting process of self discovery, finally paid off, and gave birth to new songs that are high vibrational (ahem.. since there’s too much of the opposite within the music industry), cool, but with a purpose and message. 

I’m aiming to inspire people, through melodies and lyrics that talk about life, from a perspective that defends authenticity, fairness, justice and love over everything else, but kind of "badass style" (no namaste music here.. for the moment 😂).

Because after all this personal journey, and considering where the world is heading towards, I feel that it is more important than ever to be true to our values, our integrity, our kindness, and to take care of every single being we cross paths with (within our power of course).

My new style includes tracks in English (British accent), as well as rapping in Spanish "Andalusian style". I’m now looking for a Manager/Sponsor to help make them come to life. Someone who truly sees the real value and is genuinely interested in investing on this new project, that I feel will benefit everyone in general.

Meantime, feel free to DM for enquiries, comments or collabs. Thanks!

Chained music &
the power
of drum sound

Ullip's music can best be described as a versatile mix of ambient, jazz, electronic music (especially drum & breakbeat, drone) and intuitive music/contemporary classical, which is often atmospheric, relaxing, but also rhythmically driving, with elements ranging from gentle melodies to experimental sounds described as ‘percussive emotions’ or ‘vitamin sea’. 
Key features:
Genre mix: There is no single pigeonhole; Ullip moves between ambient landscapes, jazz influences, electronic beats (such as drum & breakbeat) and classical-intuitive compositions.
Atmosphere & emotion: Many tracks are aimed at relaxation and meditation (‘Still Like a Stone Structure: Meditation’, ‘The Spirit of Relax’), while others appeal to a deeper, emotional level (‘Percussion drives emotions’).
Instrumentation: There are both gentle, melodic parts and hard guitar sounds and driving percussion, creating a dynamic soundscape.
Titles & moods: Titles such as ‘Scirocco Drift’, ‘Deep Water’, “Wintertales” and ‘Trip to Universe’ suggest expansive, often nature-loving or cosmic moods.
Sound aesthetics: The music is often catchy, but also complex and experimental, with a mixture of calm and energy that ensures broad appeal. 
In summary, Ullip's music is an atmospheric fusion that often has a relaxing effect, but is given a modern, multi-layered touch by electronic elements and jazzy influences.

Pietro Fauno Finizio is a double and electric bass player, composer and teacher based in Glasgow, UK.

Born in Milan, in 1986, he finally responded to the call of music in 2000, after spending his youth by playing with a toy-organ.

His attention was brought to the four strings only by chance, after a friend encouraged him to join in his band; since then he has taken part in numerous groups and collaborations, exploring genres such as '60s and '70s Rock music, Pop, Blues, Funk and Jazz, performing in Italy and the UK.

In 2007 Finizio approached the vast world of Jazz music and took up double bass at school “Civici Corsi di Jazz” in Milan; here he found out his love for improvised music and the freedom that comes along with it. 

In 2014 he moved on to the UK and continued his research through Jazz by studying on the Jazz course at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland where he graduated from in 2020.

​Pietro’s passion for composing led in 2018 to the birth of Pélagos, a ten-piece ensemble that crosses Jazz and World music by taking inspiration from the musical atmospheres of the Mediterranean area. The band has featured award-winning pianist Paul Harrison and Scottish Jazz rising stars Joshua Elcock (Mezcla, Tom McGuire & The Brassholes), Matthew Carmichael and Anoushka Nanguy.

 Among many, Pietro has collaborated with Scottish singer and songwriter Sarah Caltieri for the launch of her single “No More Tears” on STV, guitarist Daniele Gregolin and Mike the Mic’s “Harry’s Tricks”, serving as session player in an intensive live activity.

When not working on music, Pietro enjoys writing poems and preparing vegan delicacies.

Basssista & Contrabbassista

Sono sempre stato attratto dai suoni; da bambino, il mio primo incontro con uno strumento musicale, avrò avuto tre, forse quattro anni. In un armadio di casa mia era custodita una chitarra classica con cui andavo sempre a giocare di nascosto. Era abbandonata a se stessa poiché nessuno in famiglia ha mai avuto a che fare con gli strumenti musicali; cosa ci facesse lì, in quell'armadio, è tutt'oggi un mistero ma a distanza di tanti anni è bello per me pensare che quello fosse un segno.

Mi piace la sensazione che provo quando riproduco una semplice melodia e ancora di più mi piace quando ho l'occasione di dialogare con qualcuno attraverso i suoni.

FRANCESCA'S WORD SALAD
If you’re seeking excitement or tales that are gory
Or perhaps you seek out the undead in a story?
If you’d like these set down in a song or a ballad
I’d get yourself down to Francesca’s Word Salad...

A solitary show-woman, Francesca shuffles up macabre ballads with whist-ful laments ready to deal out a show encompassing a musical human hat stand, artfully exhibiting the latest techniques from the world of amateur bonnet making
