  • Description

    The Sardinian double bassist has collected some musical dialogues with important artists he came across with during his artistic career including saxophonists Paul Dunmall and Rachel Cohen, drummer Mark Sanders and London Sinfonietta oboist Melinda Maxwell and clarinetist and songwriter Jack McNeill.

    If it is possible to tell a story made of artistic stages, relationships and reference points through an album, then this is very evident in 'Duets of a Fool'. The eleven tracks are duets swinging between improvisation and composition, which explore, remember, celebrate and throw new ideas for the future. Recurring phrases, circular elements and great musicality permeate this album: "The duets are intentionally short", says the Sardinian Birmingham-based double bassist, "Although completely improvised, they tend to a form and to the recall of musical elements typical of written music".
