Fabrizio Bosso Quartet


Fabrizio Bosso : trumpet
Luca Mannutza : piano
Luca Bulgarelli : double bass
Lorenzo Tuccil : drums

Brilliant musicians can easily sketch whole worlds with a few strokes. Fabrizio Bosso, with his quartet is able to suggest, through sounds, endless universes, thanks also to the young talents by his side: Luca Manzuta at the piano, Luca Bulgarelli at the double bass and Lorenzo Tucci at the drums. Deep-rooted in a hypersensitive technique, the quarted rides all music styles, paying attention - even though not exclusive- to standards; but, in many pieces written by the leader and Luca Mannutza, we can easily trace the attempt of creating a new point of contact. A dimension of fusion and inspiration. Their music isn't codified in a rigid system, nor completely free from it. The iron technique of the four musicians, their journey through memory, the dialectic and dialogic tension drives the quartet to exhaust an idea after the other, shifting from deepest impulses to daring irony. They are fully capable of binding a sudden outburst from common feeling to their music.

The quartet, which has recorded before, will soon enter the studio, with a string orchestra and some guests.
Luca Mannutza was born in Cagliari in 1968. He has being playing piano since he was a child and graduated from the G. P. da Palestrina at the age of eighteen. By that period he approached progressive rock, discovering Weathering Report, and in the early 90s he started a collaboration with the Argentinian saxophonist Hector Costita. At the same time he came in touch with Andy Gravish first and, later on, with the italian musical scene marked by Paolo Fresu and Paolo Gianmarco. By June 2002 he won the Massimo Urbani Prize and can be traced in quartet with Max Ionata, with whom he also presents a valid duo on Joe Henderson's compositions.

Luca Bulgarelli is one of the current greatest young double bass players; he also plays the electric bass and is interested in digital instruments. Gifted with high technical mastery, deep and rich expressive sensibility, coming from Abruzzo but living in Rome, he is proving to be an encyclopedic musician who's building himself an important role in other many important projects such as Roberto Gatto's duo, Sergio Cammariere's band, in partnership with Ada Montellanico ed Enrico Pieranunzi. He is the leader of a spectacular quartet with Bosso himself at the drums, Gianluca Putrella at the trombone and the eclectic Mr. Fabietto at the electronic instruments.
Lorenzo Tucci is an unbelivable drummer whose technique is the result of a scrupulous scomposition both of afro-american drumming, which goes from Elvin Jones to Tony Williams, and of Shally Manne and Buddy Rich's impressionism. He often performes together with Rosario Giuliani, he's a High Five's member and is part of the group of musicians recruited by Nicola Conta to his crossover projects. 2001 is the year of his first album, "Sweet Revelation" (Philology).
