Album Description

KOSMOS & CHAOS is both the latest work by bassist Pierluigi Balducci and the debut album by singer Badrya Razem. The album, available both on CD and digitally, focuses primarily on original compositions written for two outstanding quintets. The two leaders are joined by a lineup of exceptional musicians: Gabriele Mirabassi (clarinet), Fabrizio Savino (electric guitar), Roberto Taufic (classical guitar), Vitantonio Gasparro (vibraphone), Dario Congedo and Israel Varela (drums).

"Eleven windows onto an elsewhere made of sounds and silences, eleven visionary songs that quickly reveal their nature as dreams told in music. The compositions are performed by two different quintets that embody the opposing yet complementary principles of KOSMOS and CHAOS, the two forces that dialectically give life to the universe but are also profoundly connected in making music."

The original compositions are joined by a tune by Jan Garbarek and a song by Keith Jarrett, recorded as a duo by the bassist and singer to close the tracklist. The lyrics are by Badrya Razem herself and poet Rossella Piccarreta. The recording of this album was supported by the American organization PATHWAYS to JAZZ - MUSIC FOR LOVE, which selected the work as worthy of support from among dozens of European projects.
