The idea of this quintet originally starts from the Italian trumpet player, who after moving from Rome to Berlin in 2020, tries to establish relationships with the jazz scene of the new metropolis. Rather than a band, this is an international project involving musicians from all over the world, from Argentina to Japan. During the lockdown, there was a chance to meet and experiment playing together outdoors at first and then in clubs and at bigger events. They already have a set date to record their first EP, at the beginning of July 2021 and will be having serval gigs in the Berlin area. The concept which connects all these different musicians is the love for the so-called “Standard songs” which they like re-interpreting and arranging in their own way taking their inspiration from artists such Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Thelonius Monk, the Jazz Messengers and Lenny Tristano.
