Gianluca Petrella continues proving to be a complete, visionary and captivating artist. His music perfectly reflects his personality: no schemes, trends nor conventions. "A magic and unusual mix of creativeness, talent, top-notch technique and soul".
“Cosmic Renaissance” is a new starting point for the Italian trombonist, his Spacebone Records, for the whole Italian jazz, for the young and open public or the radical and old one and for the current recording industry. “CR” isn’t just a vinyl but a long-term project: his first part will be release on 9th of June and it will be a second different vinyl at interval of some months.
Petrella bets on the future opening a new era. He’s convinced to be able to wake up the industry and to create a new listening, a new way to feel music.
“Cosmic Renaissance” starts from Petrella’s jazz roots and sink on R&B, Black Music and electronic music, that has a prime importance into the disc and for the leader’s last production. It’s a dense and open work at the same time, with illuminating rhythmic insights, powerful echoes and biting passages of trumpet (Mirco Rubegni) and trombone. They squeeze, penetrate and leave an indelible mark.
With them: Francesco Ponticelli on bass, Federico Scettri, drum and electronic, and Simone Padovani, on percussion. This Quintet was born from the previuos Cosmic Band but immediately became an independent band. With this disc it reach a perfect and
rare harmony, a fullness of colorful sounds and an engaging, ironic, space style.

Release date: 9th June 2016



Cosmic Renaissance EP

Gianluca Petrella "Trio 70's" - Disc recorded by L'Espresso
13th April 2016

Gianluca Petrella (trombone, samplers, vocoder, synth); Michele Papadia (hammond, wurlitzer, synth, bass synth); Stefano Tamborrino (drum, percussion, live electronics); John De Leo (voice, live electronics)
“Trio 70’s” has been produced for a live recording series dedicated to the most important jazzmen in Italy and published by Italian magazine L’Espresso. Precisely to jazz personalities like internationally acclaimed trombone phenomenon Gianluca Petrella from Bari because of his artistic maturity, his inexhaustive new energy he puts into his productions, his blending North European with “classic” Detroit sounds, and new frontiers of electronics with styles close to J Dilla.
The band only needed a few hours of checking to understand that this could be the very project to create a new, powerful, homogeneous sound.

“Trio 70’s” is a trip back in time moving between acid tinges and funky vibes, a journey that delves into the roots and depths of last century African-American music to open up and lead to 
contemporary sound scenarios: Gianluca Petrella has embraced and explored more than 40 years of that particular music making to give life to a new trio project between research and interpretation with Michele Papadia on keyboards (a true master of the Hammond Organ sound) and young talented drummer Stefano Tamborrino.

The result is a perfect blend of Afrobeat, nu jazz, hip hop and electronic music, with Petrella’s mature trombone playing, freely dialoguing with Papadia’s powerful, rhythmic Moog and warm Hammond’s twists of harmonies, and with drummer Tamborrino’s at once solid and creative groove. The repertoire, arranged by Gianluca Petrella, is entirely original, new and fresh.
