Italian double bass player Michelangelo Scandroglio’s “In The Eyes of the Whale” is his debut album as a leader. Deeply inspired by new contemporary jazz, the recording features a lineup of international rising stars.
Penned by Scandroglio, all seven originals combine layered melodies, intersecting and merging into each other – thus bringing an ever-changing discourse to the listener.
This solid lineup highlights Alessandro Lanzoni’s beautiful pianism, Bernardo Guerra’s aggressive drumming, American trumpet player Hermon Mehari’s minimal contemplative approach, London-based guitar player Peter Wilson’s rock energy and Michele Tino's virtuosity on alto sax. Among the finest names in world-class contemporary jazz and special guest, Logan Richardson takes the band’s music to a new dimension.
