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.
