The trio featured in this project pays tribute to some of the great composers/interpreters of South American culture and what it has done for the universe by weaving the thin thread that binds the past to the present. In other words, Paolo Fresu wrote some texts in Sardinian on the music of Linx. Linx adapted some English texts for Pablo Milanés and Famke Sinninghe Damsté as well as writing some texts in Dutch for Milton Nascimento. Beytelmann composed from the world of Piazzolla and embellished Linx's and Fresu's poetry with his touch. Trama Latina is in short, a tribute to the energy that swings between continents and cultures.

Tutta Vita started with an idea and a look by Valentina Cenni: narrate jazz improvisation as an act of life, a space for interaction, listening, and freedom. She asked Stefano Bollani to gather some of the best Italian jazz musicians, along with three young talents, in a remote location, away from stages and tours, so they could play together for a week. No songlist, no pressure: their only goal is to make music together before performing at the Politeama Rossetti in Trieste.

The celebrated trio of Richard Galliano (accordion), Jan Lundgren (piano), and Paolo Fresu (trumpet) return with Mare Nostrum IV, the highly anticipated continuation of their iconic collaboration.

Italian bassist Giovanni Tommaso has a knack for assembling talented groups. For this studio session, he brings together an all-star quintet of Italian hard bop musicians: a front line of trumpeter Paolo Fresu and alto saxophonist Massimo Urbani, and rhythm section cohorts Danilo Rea on piano, and Roberto Gatto on drums. The whole gels, as Urbani and Fresu produce the kind of lightening solos that have since brought them international critical acclaim.

After a highly successful tour, Shades of Chet was released in 1999. This album is an absolute reference album for Italian jazz.

This is the story of Cirino and Coretta, two brothers who set out in search of the Playing Sun and the Singing Moon. It is a book that tells fairy tales, shows figures, plays music and recites nursery rhymes.

A tribute to the one and only Miles Davis, perfectly divided in two groups: Shadows and Lights, acoustic and electric, ballads and bangers all together in this emotional music.

"Brass Bang" is the musical formula implying insanely talented musicians, humor and creativity. This album captures the mind of wind instruments. This album gathers eclectic composers such as Rolling Stones, Haendel, Jimi Hendrix, Duke Ellington and compositions of their own.

Sardinian-born trumpeter Paolo Fresu and bandoneonist Daniele di Bonaventura from Fermo, Italy, indicated the depth of their musical understanding on 2010’s "Mistico Mediterraneo", a collaboration with Corsican singers A Filetta. Left to their own resources they explore a very broad range of material which includes original ballads by both men, improvisations, a Puccini theme from La Boheme, liturgical music, pieces by legendary Chilean songwriter Victor Jara and Uruguayan singer-songwriter Jaime Roos, music of Neapolitan composer Ernesto de Curtis, “O que sera” by Brazil’s Chico Buarque and more. Daniele Di Bonaventura has spent much of his creative life bringing aspects of jazz and music of South American traditions together, and Paolo Fresu is one of the outstanding lyrical voices of contemporary improvising.

And yet they found they had common goals, to express and share the soul of Vietnam with the wider world, bringing together the roots and the future of Vietnamese music. They each contribute three original songs to the album, rounded out by four traditional numbers. The duo is joined on various tracks by trumpeter Paolo Fresu, koto player Mieko Miyazaki and tabla player Prabhu Edouard.

Sardinian trumpeter Paolo Fresu, French accordionist Richard Galliano and Swedish pianist Jan Lundgren form the trio Mare Nostrum.

They are back in studio to celebrate 30 years of collaboration of the historical Paolo Fresu quintet, with new original tracks.

This album celebrates the thirteenth anniversary of one of the oldest and active groups of european jazz.
