Luca Alemanno - I can see home from here - Workin’label
His technical control, accuracy and facility on the bass are terrific. With his music he creates new directions where the tradition is a springboard.” Herbie Hancock
“Luca’s music is Art on the highest level. It’s poetic and has vision into the future.” Jerry Bergonzi
In his debut album, I Can See Home from Here, bassist and composer Luca Alemanno explores shifting conceptions of home.
Originally from Alessano Italy, Alemanno currently resides in Brooklyn, New York following two years in Los Angeles, three years in Rome, and travels to countless cities and countries. Navigating between continents and cultures, Alemanno’s music explores the meaning of home, whether it is a place, a feeling, an object or a person. In reflecting on his encounters with the familiar and unknown, Alemanno raises questions around cultural identity, community and independence. I Can See Home From Here features seven original compositions brought to life by a sextet of musicians from around the world, including alto saxophonist Miguel Zenon (Puerto Rico), trombonist Jon Hatamiya (California), vibraphonist Simon Moullier (France), pianist Isaac Wilson (California) and drummer Jongkuk Kim (South Korea). The record culminates with Alemanno’s solo bass interpretation of Hoagy Carmichael’s “Stardust.”
In sharing his process of redefining home, Alemanno hopes to evoke and inspire introspection among listeners in their travels around the globe and within themselves. I Can See Home from Here will be released in october 2019 on Workin' Label Records (I.R.D. distribution).

Serena Spedicato - Nicola Andrioli - The Shining of Thing dedicated to David Sylvian – Dodicilune
“The Shining of Things. Dedicated to David Sylvian” - released on 20th of July 2019 by Italian label Dodicilune - is the new recording project signed by Serena Spedicato and Nicola Andrioli, born from the desire to interpret and develop a songbook of the most important cameos of the vast artistic production of David Sylvian, musician, composer and writer of experimental, intimate and sophisticated music.
The interweaving of dialectic and creativity of the record is entrusted to the elegant voice of Leccese singer Serena Spedicato; to the skilled and refined piano-playing of Nicola Andrioli, who is originally from Puglia but has lived in Belgium for years, and is also the writer of the original arrangements written specifically for this production; to the sought-after Scandinavian trumpeter Kalevi Louhivuori; and to the profound, poetic depth of percussionist Michele Rabbia.
