Atempo

Active since: May 2, 2020

Atempo is an Israeli modern jazz piano trio formed in 2020 by pianist Itay Abramovitz, bassist Alon Stern and drummer Yoav Lachovitsky.

The trio creates original instrumental music rooted in jazz improvisation and shaped by Mediterranean, Balkan, Latin, African and Middle Eastern influences. At the center of Atempo’s music is the close conversation between piano, electric bass and drums, combining lyrical melodies, rhythmic movement and collective improvisation.

Over the years, the trio has developed a distinctive musical language that its members describe as the Atempo sound. Rather than simply placing different styles side by side, Atempo transforms its diverse influences into a unified language of its own. Lyrical melodies, unexpected rhythmic patterns, collective improvisation and the warm, grounded sound of the electric bass create music that can feel intimate and contemplative in one moment, and energetic and driven by groove in the next.

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.
