| 13. moreThe result is a group effort of uncontrollable liveliness. A large-scale designed album, with a variety of different languages in a collective journey: literally every track is a new adventure on unexplored territories |
| 14. Conceived in 2017, Boom collective’s challenge is to make Partipilo’s rich, shimmering music meet the well-defined language of each collective member. «The idea behind the whole project – Partipilo says – was to have a heterogeneous sound that did not take inspiration from jazz only. I felt the urge to look at Puglia because it has a rich personality. Nevertheless, I wanted to stay true to my ideas, no matter how good or bad. It’s a genuine work that reflects my everyday experiences.» |
| 15. A leading figure in the Italian jazz scene and longtime member of the Auand Family, Partipilo’s way to set up this project is clear: «Boom Collective was born in Puglia, which is where the majority of the band members come from. It’s a sort of little tribute to my homeland.» |
| 16. Partipilo’s taste, flair and respect towards young musicians allowed him to put together a large creative team. First, two very different pianists such as dreamlike, sensitive Mirko Signorile and rhythmic, hyper-contemporary Seby Burgio. «Having both of them playing at the same time in most tracks is a very interesting experience». Much of the same happens with the voices of Carolina Bubbico and Angela Esmeralda. Bubbico comes from jazz, blending neo-soul and indie-pop, while Esmeralda has a blues and folk background. Fabrizio Savino is the only guitar player, and this shows his key role in the band, which also hosts a 4-element brass section: «Mike Rubini – Partipilo adds – is arguably one of the most interesting saxophone players around. Andrea Sabatino has already recorded many albums as a leader. Francesco Lomangino is a tenor sax master, and trombonist Vito Scavo is a permanent member or Roy Paci’s band» |
| 17. Well-known artists such as Giuseppe Bassi and Luca Alemanno complete the lineup along with Dario Congedo on drums and some guests: Pasquale Bardaro on vibraphone and Leo Gadaleta, who curated the strings parts |
| 18. If jazz can be considered the compass here, the actual path taken by each composition always follows a different route. It’s the case of the mellow and biting mood of “In Tension”, or the vintage and confident approach to “Dark Matters”. The tracklist also includes a vaguely acid rendition of “Naima”, and “Nolan” – a smooth intro followed by an arrangement that rejoices of many music facets – all of which, combined, reveals the strength of both Boom Collective and Partipilo’s compositions |
