No Trio for Cats

Active since: 2012

No Trio for Cats organically reinvents the language of the jazz piano trio, transforming mainstream sonorities through a compositional approach that reimagines the swing pulse to explore new sonic horizons. Active since 2012, the Roman trio—Andrea Saffirio (piano and composition), Andrea Colella (double bass) and Matteo Bultrini (drums)—is one of the most distinctive presences on the contemporary Italian jazz scene.

The group was born from the artistic meeting of three musicians united by a desire not to renounce jazz tradition, but to use it as a starting point for innovative sonic explorations. The close rapport developed over the years has allowed the trio to create a personal language that defies mainstream categories, organically integrating influences ranging from late-nineteenth-century symphonic music to elements of Black music—from Motown culture to hip-hop sonorities—without ever allowing these crossovers to become clichés or to overwhelm the project's jazz essence.

“this really came about following some of the experimental jamming during the writing sessions for the last Sanguine Hum album, A Trace of Memory. Paul and I had worked on the initial idea of a more improvisational track that had the working title of Supervoc, but eventually became Automaton. In the months after that album, we started jamming but to separate it from Sanguine Hum, we kept the instrumentation simple…just piano, bass and drums

Joe Fuentes: Acoustic Trio

by Jim Santella
December 1, 1997

As Joe Fuentes states in the liner notes to his recording, “the nylon string guitar has made a comeback into the more popular forms of music." Classically-trained and broadly-influenced, the guitarist combines from many musical genres, but settles with the smoother, more adult-oriented side of modern popular music that some refer to as New Adult Contemporary, ...
