SERATE DI GALA
GABRIELE MIRABASSI
He is one of the best prestigious clarinettist at international level. After his graduation with honour, for some years he had taken a great interest in technical skills, peculiar of contemporary music. His involvement with jazz went side by side with his interest in contemporary music, and continued to grow after the recording of Coloriage (1991) in duo with the accordionist Richard Galliano becoming his exclusive activity.
In duo with Stefano Battaglia he records Fiabe, with Sergio Assad Velho Retrato and he signs Cambaluc, where the Quartet of clarinet namaste joins special guests such as Richard Galliano, Riccardo Tesi and his brother Giovanni Mirabassi.
He was awarded at Top Jazz ’96 as “best new talent”. In Umbria Jazz 2000 he presents together with Luciano Biondini, Michel Godard and Francesco D’Auria, the project “Lo Stortino” with so many plaudits from critics and public, in Italy and abroad. His cd “1 a 0” (Egea) with Luciano Biondini (accordion), Michel Godard (tuba) and Patrick Vaillant (mandolin) was presented in Umbria Jazz 2001 and has been appreciated by the public and the critics in Italy and abroad, a project entirely dedicated to the Chôro, the antecedent of the great Brasilian folk music. A new recording printed by ENJA records sums up the clarinet-player’s various musical experiences, Latakia Blend, in trio with Michel Godard and Luciano Biondini, “fellow-travellers” of his last projects. In Umbria Jazz 2003 has been presented his cd Fuori le Mura (Egea) in duo with Luciano Biondini. At Umbria Jazz 2004 he has presented Graffiando Vento (Egea), his first cd with the extraordinary brazilian guitarist Guinga, defined in the same year from the Folha de Sao Paulo “the best album of brazilian instrumental music of the year”.
His collaborations are so many and extremely heterogeneous concerning the style level and languages too; many ones are documented in his discography (Rabih Abou Khalil, Mina, John Cage, Ivano Fossati, Battista Lena, Riccardo Zegna, Enrico Pieranunzi, Roberto Gatto, Cristina Zavalloni, Trio Madeira-Brasil, Istituzione Sinfonica Abruzzese, Marco Paolini, Mario Brunello, Orchestra D’Archi italiana), only to mention some. In the last years Mirabassi has enlarged a lot his list of collaborations, extending himself with courage to other fields of show: his now constant collaboration with Gianmaria Testa, the one with the italian writer Erri De Luca (with whom he has taken part to the theatral work “Chisciotte e gli invincibili”), the one with the singer Barbara Casini and the actress Monica Demuru: in trio they have created a new project a sort of concert/show, “Costruzione”, dedicated to Chico Buarque.
The last “fatigue” is “Canto d’ebano”, released on March 2008, an homage to the extraordinary African wood and to the passionate hands (the Italian ones) that transform it in a clarinet. On 2008, “Canto di ebano” has been awarded at Top Jazz ’08 as “BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR”. MIRAMARI, which sees him on stage with Andrè Mehmari young, talented and versatile pianist, composer and arranger Brazilian, is the latest effort, released in Italy and Europe in February 2010 with the historic label ever, Egea Records.

The music of BandAdriatica is the daughter of the sea. Conceived in the dark nights of calm or in the days of hot sun. On the deck of a ship that has been magically meeting place of different cultures and music.
A trip, a wager become a project of music and life that unites musicians and navigators who decide to embark together and look for a new common language, almost as if the native languages ??were not sufficient to fully understand. A long journey, made of chance encounters and research spasmodic. And traveling by sea is not like traveling on land, is a way subservient to the desires of the changing winds and currents.
The ensemble led by Claudio Prima, eclectic diatonic accordion player of Salento, is a meeting of cultures and backgrounds under the sign of the Adriatic Sea. In May 2008 the musicians embark on Idea 2, a ship which takes them in the ports of the Adriatic where the band meets important exponents of traditional music and ethnic contamination and with which he composes the music that became the foundation of a new repertoire Adriatic.
In 2009, the project becomes “Rotta per Otranto” a film that tells the story of this extraordinary adventure. From Venice to Capodistria, from Dubrovnik to Durazzo to Otranto, Idea 2 carrying musicians-sailors that tell in music their own travel experiences. Original music and lyrics run through an ideal journey looking for a new language that can unite the different cultures Adriatic, each of which has always been a band or a brass band to bring music into people’s homes.

CRISTIANO LUI & STEFANO CIOTOLA
I don’t know if in other human manifestation is the same, but there is no purity in music. There has never been. Every phenomenon is the result of meetings, commixtures and no judicious pairing at all. And actually every tradition – which is sold off as something very solid – is a slow and constant transformation of shapes, sounds, colors and attitudes.
And those two instruments (accordion, bandoneon and guitar) which vibrate in the hands of Cristiano Lui and Stefano Ciotola are necessarily “impures”. These instruments can be recognized in a lot of different styles, several genres and repertories. – As happens in music, as happens in life – the guys almost came across together throughout a kind of metaphorical journey, departing from shared passions but touching so many places and tastes.
The story tells us about the bal musette and also about the meeting with the chromatic accordion through Italian immigrants who settled in Bastille and Faubourg Saint-Antoine neighborhoods of Paris, between ‘800 and ‘900; it talks about the mixing of foreign dances like polka, tango and rumba and about the the need of a new kind of ball like the java; about the success earned by the very first little jazz orchestras and above all it make us know about the vitality of persons like Django Reinhardt (a Belgian gypsy guitar player) who will draw big inspiration from the accordion player of the time.
The path of Cristiano Lui and Stefano Ciotola take shape from these elements and predilections. And it is a path ideally drawn as a kind of journey in the subway of Paris which is often the scene of unrehearsed concerts of varied artists.
Then, Paris has always hosted artists from all over the world without any hesitation, “making them Parisian”, adopting them, but also preserving every kind of personal and intrinsic quality.
