Massimo Biolcati, John Ellis & Johnathan Blake - On a Misty Night (2023) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

On A Misty Night is bassist Massimo Biolcati’s fourth solo release and features saxophonist John Ellis and drummer Johnathan Blake.

The album showcases his blend of traditional and modern jazz, with a repertoire of lesser-known standards highlighting the trio's virtuosity and musical chemistry.

Biolcati's mastery of the upright bass and ability to create a dynamic sound with his bandmates takes listeners on a journey through unfamiliar corners of the jazz canon, with standout tracks including Bill Frisell's hauntingly beautiful composition Strange Meeting and Tadd Dameron's swinging On A Misty Night.

21st century jazz is a global movement, and New York bassist Massimo Biolcati embodies the music’s creative reach. A first-call accompanist, producer, composer and bandleader, he is known as a founding member of Gilfema, the acclaimed collective trio with Hungarian drummer Ferenc Nemeth and West African guitarist and vocalist Lionel Loueke that recorded two albums for Obliqsound. The group also recorded three albums for Blue Note as the Lionel Loueke Trio, including Karibu featuring Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock.
