Yet another Blue Note band is closing this year’s festival edition; Italy’s “best in jazz since 1939” goes by the name of Paolo Fresu. The multi-talented trumpeter from Sardinia mixes mainstream jazz, folk and avant-garde. He has played an important role in the European jazz scene since the eighties.
His all-Italian Devil Quartet might sound more 'acoustic' than other experiences of Paolo but filtered through are the electronics ways of Paolo and Bebo, who often use the acoustic guitar as well. The 'live-program' is an authentic modern encyclopaedia of modern sounds, with several original compositions and revisited standards. It is mainly ‘jazz’, but is also a true ‘melange’ with deep and modernized philosophies.
Their latest album "Stanley Music!" was released 2007 on Blue Note.

Bogard, thanks a lot for this. Fresu is indeed one of the most important musicians, I would say not only in the european jazz scene, but also worldwide. With his own distinctive voice, he as appeared in a lot of records a live gigs since the 90's, and I would recommend every bit of music where he appears. THX again !!!

A unique sound and group, thanks for the upload! I really gravitate to trumpet and guitar quartet...like "Tonight only," a Ron McClure date with John Abercrombie and Randy Brecker.
