Lisipi

Three musicians with different backgrounds met in a home studio and realized it was the moment that they had been waiting for all their lives: Liliya Akhmetzyanova on piano; Silvio Canargiu on bass; Pierpaolo Frailis on drums. Liliya is a classically trained pianist. She graduated from Russian conservatory. Always hated jazz and thought that all jazz players are pretentious nerds. Ironically, she met Silvio Canargiu, who is a jazz musician, fell in love with him and, automatically, with jazz. Silvio Canargiu started his professional career in 1992 with sardinian pop bands as guitarist and later singer/guitarist. Went to Sanremo for a pop festival with Nicola Marogna then he played for a long time with Stefano Puddu in France recording a couple of albums such as Zamballarana with Jerome Casalonga's 15 elements ensemble.

Möbius Strip

Möbius Strip is the name of an Italian progressive jazz-rock band from Sora and its surroundings, made of Lorenzo Cellupica (piano and keyboards), Nico Fabrizi (tenor and alto saxophone), Eros Capoccitti (bass) and Davide Rufo (drums). They got their inspiration in the object of the same name: since a Möbius strip geometrically connects the two sides of the same surface by starting a path on one of them, this also became the purpose of the musicians, to combine different styles and influences. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2017 by the French label Musea Records and has gotten the attention by magazines and radios from all over the world (some of the magazines are: All About Jazz, Prog U.K., Prog Italy, Progression Magazine, ProGGnosis, Highlands Magazine, Koid'9 and many others)
