Hot & Fresh

The progressive Italian quartet 'LEGS 4et' began life in Bologna, 2015 as a project based on jazz but recognising relevant influences such as funk, hip hop and electronics. Recorded in 2017, 'Hot & Fresh' is a debut recording of surprising and fresh energy, which moulds together these influences wonderfully.

Stefano Maimone's inspiration in creating the group was born from his need to realise his stylistic research and to give voice to his musical vision, acknowledging the influences of his music mentors but never allowing them to prevail over his own style.

The pieces, written especially for this group, give room for expression to each member of the quartet, highlighting their musical characteristics and background.

Personnel: Stefano Maimone (electric bass, effects), Luigi Rinaldi (alto and soprano saxophone, bass Clarinet), Enrico Smiderle (drums, percussion), Gabriele Carbone (piano, synth, Hammond organ, vocoder)
