Angiolini Bros. Quartet - The Art of my Heart
Original Modern Jazz

Il Quartetto Angiolini Bros. ha vissuto nel corso degli anni diverse evoluzioni, anche dal punto di vista compositivo. Le nuove composizioni trovano ispirazione in molteplici esperienze musicali dettate dall'ascolto di materiale discografico, ma soprattutto dalla frequentazione di concerti di grandi musicisti della storia del jazz che, fortunatamente, abbiamo potuto assaporare dal vivo. Il repertorio appena proposto rinnova il sound con l'apporto di basso elettrico, pianoforte elettrico e tastiere. L'arrangiamento mette tutti gli strumenti in primo piano per creare un ottimo equilibrio. Si compone prevalentemente di brani originali inediti, con qualche inclusione di standard jazz, opportunamente arrangiati secondo il nuovo sound di questa formazione. Il lavoro di arrangiamento di alcuni brani originali nasce dal sapiente mascheramento di strutture armoniche di brani famosi, come spesso facevano i grandi musicisti nel corso della storia del jazz. Ottenendo così brani completamente nuovi che si adattano perfettamente all'intenzione musicale del nuovo quartetto. Il suono risulta così fresco e piacevole all'ascolto, catturando l'interesse del pubblico.

Rikard From

Born: April 14, 1972

Hi! I'm Rikard From. Musician, singer/songwriter, composer and producer. Diy artist. I released my first album Piano in 2017 unaware of what would happen. 8 years later with over 60 million streams and 130 million views on YouTube. 7 albums, one EP and at the time of writing a total of 140 released songs.

My most successful album is Sun of June. Recorded in my home on an old swedish upright piano. Through the years I've modified the piano to get a tone and feel that match my ideas. 
I record everything myself and play all instruments. On the Sun of June album there's a mix with drums on keyboard and real drums by Per Mikaelsson. All upright bass parts played by me.
