Musician

Nicola Caminiti

Italian-born, New York-based saxophonist Nicola Caminiti is proud to present Vivid Tales of a Blurry Self-Portrait, his debut album, featuring dynamic original compositions performed by a stellar quartet with pianist Lex Korten, bassist Ben Tiberio and drummer Miguel Russell. Playing alto and soprano saxes, Caminiti reveals a musical temperament at once fiery and sensitive, technically adept and emotionally engaged. His complex rhythmic and contrapuntal ideas and searing melodies both challenge and inspire.

“This album is a non-chronological narration of my journey in this world,” Caminiti declares. “Each track represents an encounter, a feeling, a tangible life experience. These songs are ‘vivid tales’ that shaped, changed, dismantled and reconstructed my persona to be who I am today. I’m extremely grateful that Lex, Ben and Miguel are a part of it. They’ve been my pillars and guiding lights, alwaysinspiring me to become a better artist and person.

I Dischi del 2024 secondo Ludovico Granvassu

Read "I Dischi del 2024 secondo Ludovico Granvassu" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu


Spesso molti articoli sulle “migliori uscite dell'anno" iniziano con una premessa quasi apologetica ("questi non sono necessariamente 'i migliori album dell'anno,' ma 'i miei preferiti';" “è tutto soggettivo;" “domani avrei scelto titoli diversi;" “ho potuto selezionare solo dieci album," ecc.)? Queste dichiarazioni sembrano riflettere il disagio del redattore, costretto a riassumere un vasto ecosistema artistico selezionando ...

Read "Ludovico Granvassu's Garden of Jazzy Delights 2024" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu


Have you noticed how many “best of the year" listicles start with an apologetic preamble ("these are not necessarily 'the best albums of the year' but 'my favorites';" “it's all subjective;" “tomorrow I might have chosen different titles;" “I could only select ten albums" etc.)? Those disclaimers channel the writer's discomfort of having to summarize a ...
