about

With this album Carmelo Venuto seeks the meeting point between his roots and the search for modern and original jazz sound, exploring modal harmony and interplay. He chose three great musicians and friends, all Sicilian: Rosario Di Leo on piano, Riccardo Grosso on double bass, Giuseppe Tringali on drums.

In the titles we find many references to the sea and Sicily.
Rumble and Calma are the two most prominent American tracks, rhythmically and harmonically complex and played with a lot of groove and interplay.
Giulia NS is instead dedicated to the Alfa Romeo Giulia Nuova Super, his grandparents’ car, to which many of his memories are linked.
Snow Song is inspired by the lunar landscapes of Etna that in winter turn from black to white.
Empedocle, a riff with groove rock in odd time and oriental shades, like the crossroads of cultures that mixed in Porto Empedocle.
Sicca Ranni is the ancient name of a beach of Agrigento. A song with a very melodic theme, exposed by double bass and piano in unison.
Human Turtle takes its cue from an old history of fishermen and develops with neo-soul sounds and a modal harmonic structure
Onde has a flow that recalls the movements of the sea, with an atmosphere of mystery.
