Other-world art music. These phrases have all been used to attempt to describe this trio

known as Sumari. The channeling of free improvisation and global folk culture with a boundless sense of the new are the path Matt Lavelle, Jack DeSalvo and Tom Cabrera course to conjure the sounds heard on their eponymous release on Unseen Rain Records. Each member of Sumari is a veteran of international New Music and Free Jazz, with roots in NYC’s “downtown sound”:

JACK DESALVO, hailed in THE WIRE magazine as “masterful”, joined Ronald Shannon Jackson’s Decoding Society in the 1980s and has toured the world with many artists in his own musical-spiritual journey. A graduate of the Berklee College of Music, DeSalvo also studied classical guitar and composition before taking private tutelage with Bill Connors. His pianistic, wholistic approach to performance practice on guitar led to committed doubling on such instruments as cello, alto guitar and various members of the ukulele, mandolin and banjo family. DeSalvo’s credits beyond Ronald Shannon Jackson include Peter Brotzmann, Karl Berger, Chris Kelsey, Vic Juris, Tony Malaby, Pat Hall, D3 and many more. MATT LAVELLE, former student of Ornette Coleman’s, is one-fourth of Bern Nix’s band and a founding member of Harmolodic Monk. His haunting trumpet sound is reminiscent of Don Cherry’s, yet doesn’t one also note the full-throated influence of Rex Stewart? Lavelle’s first teacher was swing-era veteran Hildred Humphries but his foray into the unfettered carries him beyond traditions. Strong doubling into woodwinds brought him to the bass clarinet and ultimately, the alto clarinet. Lavelle makes extreme use of the alto’s natural range, fusing it with the cry of Dolphy’s bass clarinet sound and then into the imaginary realm of Eastern double-reeds painted New Orleans blue. Lavelle’s extensive resume includes Giuseppe Logan, William Parker, Sabir Mateen, Jameel Moondoc, Roy Campbell, and his own12 Houses Orchestra. An in-demand jazz drummer who made a specialty of the percussion family known as frame drums, Cabrera constructed a drum-set which sports riq, tar, dumbeq, bodhran and various percussives about a small bass drum and hi-hat. With a sonic oeuvre that ranges from the quaking to the sublime, Tom carries the band’s rhythmicity in the best harmolodic fashion. Silences (the sort described by Cage) feature into his wave of sounds. Cabrera can also be seen playing a more standard drumset with the Julie Lyon Quintet and others. Sumari’s debut recording, “Sumari” is available via http://www.unseenrainrecords.com/?p=1330

The trio will open THE UNSEEN RAIN FESTIVAL at ShapeShifter Lab, Brooklyn NY, on April 12, 2015

Si tratta di un progetto legato a due CD che usciranno in ottobre a nome di Rocco John Iacovone, registrati a New York.

Il quintetto è composto da:
- 𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗼 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗜𝗮𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗼𝗻𝗲 sax alto, composizione (USA)
- 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗼 sax baritono (IT)
- 𝗚𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝘇𝘇𝘂' chitarra (IT)

- 𝗙𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗮' batteria (IT)
- 𝗗𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝗮𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗼𝗻𝗲 improvisational painting (USA)

Tra contemporanea, jazz, impro e musica da camera, si tratta di un progetto dalle mille sfaccettature di un musicista/compositore influentissimo nel Lower East Side di New York, dove crea gruppi musicali con i migliori musicisti del Downtown. Esempio di musicista a 360 gradi, allievo diretto di Lee Konitz e Sam Rivers, ha ottenuto anche un Master Degree’s in composizione classica con i diretti discepoli di Nadia Boulanger.

Il suo concerto vuole essere anche un momento in cui Rocco John da degli input al pubblico su come ascoltare la musica in una sorta di evento interattivo.

Al quintetto si unisce la moglie Denise Fusco Iacovone, grande artista, docente di arti figurative alla Xavier School di Manhattan, che si cimenterà come sempre accade durante i concerti del marito, in una seduta di action painting, dove potrà anche coinvolgere il pubblico.

New Release Drops February 18~
Tom Cabrera, Lou Pappas and Jack DeSalvo are three quarters of DeSalvo's working quartet (the fourth part being pianist Bob Rodriguez). Here DeSalvo shows his own pianistic technique on guitar, meaning the way this trio operates much more like a piano trio, where all harmonic, melodic and rhythmic aspects of the music are fulfilled. DeSalvo's music here can be folk-like, completely jazz and always powerfully emotive and full of beauty.
