SENZA
(PT)
Catarina Duarte – voice
Nuno Caldeira – guitar

SENZA: They produce a surprisingly big sound for a duo: it's as Portuguese as it is global, as ethnic as it is urban. Catarina and Nuno draw inspiration from the most remote corners of the world for their music, infusing their Portuguese lyrics with an intriguing blend of traditional and contemporary rhythms.

HAEZZ
(AT)
Martin Eberle – trumpet
Štepán Flagar – tenor saxophone
Tobias Vedovelli – bass

Listening to HAEZZ’s music, one quickly gains the impression that the three musicians are focussing on a more accessible form of jazz, where the emphasis is less on instrumental virtuosity and more on creating atmosphere. Of course, the moments of free playing, the rhythmically more complex passages and the brisk, casual grooves are not missing, but instead of dominating the action, are embedded in imaginatively arranged pieces that resonate musically in the sound, open up atmospheric spaces and develop an inviting warmth.

FRANCESCO BEARZATTI – FEDERICO CASAGRANDE Duo
(IT)
Francesco Bearzatti – sax, clarinet
Federico Casagrande – guitar, live loops

“And then winter came again” is the second opus in the decennial collaboration between Francesco Bearzatti and Federico Casagrande. After “Lost Songs” (a collection of compositions by Bearzatti that they performed around Europe for several years) it’s now time for Casagrande to lead the duo into a new musical territory following the path set by his writing.

While the first album was recorded live at a concert, this time they chose the studio as the ideal setting for tracking the new music.
