The process of making music is complex and hard to understand rationally,we always like to improvise, and doing that, we give birth to lots of ideas that we eventually use as a reference or main concept to create a more structured music event or “improvised composition.”Our repertoire is based on songs, improvised moments , solos, duets.The trio has performed in the US and Europe and has recorded the CD "NOJAZ" produced by an Italian indipendent label.

"but there's no doubt this band profoundly changed whatever air within which these pieces breathe. That's another thought related to the many current premature assertions of the music's demise. Players like these, who should clearly devote their time to their own thing-their own unit- get splintered off by the realities of music-as-business. Here's hoping these guys find ways to continue on, because we all need more stuff like this - stuff so reeking of the exuberance of creation and life that it makes you want to go create yourself. I think I just managed to restate the definition of inspiration - come to think of it, so has this band..." Phil Di Pietro – All About Jazz.com
