Slivovitz

Slivovitz are together since late september 2001. As we deeply enjoy the taste of the plum distillate "slivovitz", that's where our name comes from. During these years, we've released a record for a label called ethnoworld (www.ethnoworldmusic.com) and played a lot, either in Italy and abroad (especially Hungary, where we played also in SZIGET 2004 under the name "Jeff & The Wild Slivovitz), winning several competition of Jazz and instrumental music in general. We are based mainly in Naples, but some of us are currently living or working in Rome and in Milan. We do feel the task to keep it up, though! So, please, check out our music at the website www.slivovitz.net, we hope you're going to enjoy Slivovitz as much as we do!

Slivovitz, and especially this live set, are not for the musical faint of heart. As a live recording, LiveR is “live-r" than most. Recorded in Milan in May 2016, it explodes from their native Italy into your senses with a colorful and frantic sound, a wailing mongrel child that fiercely claims such shared, diverse ...

Berkeley Choro Ensemble The View from Here Self-Produced 2017 Like its organic natural wonders, the music of Brazil seems to flourish in different forms and styles of beauty. But much of its music has grown from the root of choro: Born in the mid-to late-1800s from the joining ...

Slivovitz: All You Can Eat

by Dave Wayne
January 26, 2016

Freely grabbing inspiration from all manner of styles, the Neapolitan band Slivovitz functions as a high- efficiency musical omnivore, digesting and reworking different aspects of seemingly disparate raw materials into a seamless, organic whole. All You Can Eat, an appropriate title for the band's fourth long player (and their third for MoonJune), doesn't appear to be ...
