Album Description

“Morning Raga” is a flow of energy, the urge to begin making music again with others and share it with the new generations. With his music Simone Basile wishes to reawaken young people’s interest in contemporary music, art, and progressive change, in opposition to the static period marked by the pandemic. The energetic force and the spirituality of Indian ragas form the basis of this nine-track album. “Hamsadhwani” is a raga with a brilliant, auspicious character, and “Morning Raga”, the track after which the album is named, is just that–a warm salutation to the start of the day. Naturally, each track is filtered through the artistic lens of the Apulian guitarist, who has used these elements of Eastern music as an inspirational springboard off of which he continues to expand his personal musical language. The quintet is formed by some of the finest european young musicians. Manuel Caliumi is a multi award winner saxofonist (best soloist in the Chicco Bettinardi award, Marco Tamburini Competition, Stefano Cerri competition) and tours all over Europe with his Hack Out trio. The french pianist Enzo Carniel is one of the most in demand musicians of the Paris scene and collaborated with musicians as Logan Richardson, Jeff Ballard, Jorge Rossy and many more. Bassist Ferdinando Romano was awarded by the Magazine Musica Jazz’s Critics Poll as Best Italian Rising Star 2020; he tours intensively all over Europe with his band Totem playing with musicians like Ralph Alessi, Enrico Rava, Robin Eubanks, Glenn Ferris, Elias Stemeseder, Benny Golson and many more. Young drummer Giovanni Paolo Liguori is one of the most powerful and interesting drummers of the new generation and collaborates as a sideman with many Italian and international musicians (Fabrizio Bosso, Ralph Alessi, Robin Eubanks, Jerome Sabbagh…).
