Simone Guiducci Gramelot Ensemble: Storie di Fiume
by Ian Patterson
On first listening to Storie di fiume(River Tales), Simone Guiducci's Gramelot Ensemble's fourth recording, one wonders whether this is folk music colored by jazz, or jazz music influenced by folk. But like the confluence of two rivers there comes a point where it is impossible to distinguish the two separate entities--the absorption is complete and mutual.

Simone Guiducci Gramelot Ensemble: Dancin' Roots
by Paul Olson
Musicians have been combining various musical genres with jazz for decades and the results are often pretty messy.
