GIOVANNI GUIDI QUARTET

FR
Dans son quartet nouvellement formé, Guidi joue surtout des compositions originales que son compagnon de longue date, Rava, décrit comme "d'une curiosité sans limite et d'un raffinement implacable". Entre lui et ses collègues sur scène se développent des conversations que le public prend un plaisir incomparable à suivre. En tant que sideman, Giovanni Guidi a fait appel à un saxophoniste qui est lui-même une star mondiale : le Britannique Andy Sheppard, né en 1957, possède une riche biographie musicale. Pour son quartet, Giovanni a choisi d'autres accompagnateurs avisés : le bassiste Joe Rehmer, originaire de Woodstock (État de New York), mais qui a trouvé sa patrie en Italie, ainsi que le batteur João Lobo, originaire du Portugal et connu comme sideman de Nelson Veras ou Gianluca Petrella, entre autres.

In his newly formed quartet, Guidi mainly plays his own compositions, which his long-time companion Rava describes as "boundlessly curious and relentlessly refined". Conversations develop between him and his colleagues on stage, which the audience has unrivalled fun following. As a sideman, Giovanni Guidi has recruited a saxophonist who is himself a world star: born in 1957, the Briton Andy Sheppard has a rich musical biography. For his quartet, Giovanni chose other clever accompanists: bassist Joe Rehmer, who actually comes from Woodstock (New York State) but found his home in Italy, and drummer João Lobo from Portugal, who became known as a sideman for Nelson Veras and Gianluca Petrella, among others.
