Nugara

Active since: 2022

Nugara is a contemporary Italian jazz trio born from the fortunate meeting of three young musicians awarded scholarships from the Nuoro Jazz 2021 seminar. In just a few years, they established themselves as one of the most promising and successful realities in the Italian jazz scene, winners of important awards and protagonists of over 70 concerts in Italy and abroad. The project takes its name from the ancient Sardinian toponym Nùgoro (Nuoro), a tribute to the roots and atmosphere that inspired the formation of the group: three musical personalities from different cities who converge in a common sound. Francesco Negri on piano, Viden Spassov on double bass and Francesco V. Parsi on drums bring to the project wide stylistic baggage, from modern jazz to classical music, from rock and pop to folk and world music inflections, with a strong propensity for sound research and original writing. This mixture of backgrounds is an integral part of the group's sonic aesthetic and defines the compositional character of their songs. Their first album, Point of Convergency, was released on June 16, 2023, by GleAM Records. The album features eight tracks in which modern atmospheres are intertwined with evocative melodies and arrangements that leave room for improvisation as well as compositional structure. The acclaimed violinist Anäis Drago appears as a guest  on some tracks, adding a solo timbre that enriches the trio's internal dialogue. The work has received recognition from the specialized press and positive feedback from prominent figures in the Italian jazz scene including Paolo Fresu and Dado Moroni.
