Stefano Scarfone
He shares his time between live performances and artistic productions. He contributes as session
man and producer with many artists of the Italian and international scene with different record
labels: Sony, Universal, Warner and Virgin. Winner of a Key Awards, he mainly composes
songs and soundtracks for the Italian broadcasting company RAI, which has published the
album "Estrella."
Great front man with a strong personality, since 2007, Stefano has been on stage around the world, from Italy to England, Spain, Germany, selling nearly 10,000 copies of his album.
“PRECIPITEVOLISSIMEVOLMENTE” is the new project made for NAU RECORDS starring Caterina Palazzi (doublebass), Luca Pirozzi (fretless), Israel Varela (drums), Gabriele Gagliarini (percussions), Juan Carlos Albelo Zamora (violin, chromatic harmonica) and Quentin Collins (trumpet).
The project is made to strengthen the identity of the artist as a composer who is able to fuse his Mediterranean- influenced with jazz and blues, flamenco and Balkan rhythms, percussive beats with North African and the typically Italian sense of melody. At the same time, it represents the stylistic research related with the use of the instrument, here unique and unusual.

Kobo Concept
It is a contemporary jazz Trio from Paris - Tommaso Montagnani (bass), Thomas Cassis (piano),
Octave Ducasse (drums) - featuring original compositions inspired by the aesthetics of punk rock,
whose energy and intensity characterizes the style of the group.
Using a direct and vigorous approach, the group created in 2007 by Tommaso Montagnani, is able to establish a new perspective of the typical formula of a jazz trio: binary grooves, odd meters and a compact and brilliant sounds are associated with piano lyricism originated from the tradition of the great jazz trios of the past. “PUNK ZEN” is their first album.

Electric Posh
A Duo formed by Aldo Bassi (trumpet and multi-effects) and Luca Nostro (electric guitar, electronics & loops), two refined musicians and composers whose work is characterized by an unflagging music research aiming to new and up-to-date formal and stylistic solutions.
Born in 2012, the Duo distinguishes itself for a sound veering toward rock music, but not for this lacking references to a virtuosity that has its roots in jazz music. The repertoire includes both original pieces signed by the Duo and great rock music classics revisited (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin).
For Aldo Bassi this partnership in the Duo coincides with a phase of his creative evolution drawing him to the exploration of a new way of looking at jazz music, seeing it as a new universal language in a possible global village where it continues to break new ground. Luca Nostro, in addition to having had important collaborations in Europe and U.S. (New York), at present is a permanent member of the prestigious PMJO (Parco della Musica Jazz Orchestra).
