Sogna O Fiore Mio

“Bija” SLAMCD 556.
The Sanskrit term ‘bija’ means seed – the origin or cause of things. The Italian trio “bija” take their beginning with a vibration, a sound from which their music grows, developing surprising soundscapes. Salento, the region of Italy where the trio originated, is the south east tip of the country, surrounded by the Adriatic, absorbing many influences from neighbouring cultures.
In addition to the bija trio of Francesco Pellizzari (drums and percussion), Gabriele di Franco (guitar and loops) and Marco Puzzello (trumpet and flugelhorn), this 2013 studio recording also features special guests Emanuele Coluccia (saxophone) and Stefano Luigi Mangia (voice).
In January 2012 Bija composed and recorded soundtrack for the film "The Guardian Distracted", directed by Marcello Ciullo. In May of the same year they won the critics' prize at the "B-Live Contest", Lecce and in summer performed in final of the international contest "Jimmy Wood Award '12" (La Spezia). Their song "0" won the first prize at the "Soundslices '12." And in August 2012 Bija won the first "Band Revelation of the Year" at Jazzup Festival, directed by Greg Burk.

A tune from the first CD recorded by the collective band Alan Jones, François Theberge, Paul Imm and I had in the 1990's called The Fensters. What a fun band, and a great learning experience playing all over Europe together.
