The "Alma" recording project, released on the Saint Louis record label "Camilla Records", is the result of the work of a "young" life. Michele Frascá, guitarist and leader of the Roman ethno-jazz band, began composing the first pieces of the debut album at the age of sixteen. In November 2022 he enters the recording studio with his own handwritten arrangements. He writes a ballad for string quartet, "Aliz" and "Once", the most jazzy piece of the project. The songs like and have the particular attention of two giants of Latin Jazz in Italy: Javier Girotto and Natalio Mangalavite. On November 14th the group enters the studio and with the active collaboration of Mangalavite as artistic director and Girotto al Sax, “ALMA” is born.

Urban Quartet
Gianluca Robustelli Guitar
Giuseppe Sacchi Piano
Vincenzo Quirico Double Bass
Federico Balestra Drums
Urban Quartet is a group formed by Gianluca Robustelli (guitar), Giuseppe Sacchi (piano), Vincenzo Quirico (double bass) and Federico Balestra (drums).
Born between the meeting of the four during the various Roman jam sessions, the group's sound has its roots in mainstream jazz, without however precluding the door to any kind of contamination. The repertoire consists of standards taken from the American song book, originals by the great masters of jazz and original compositions.
Alessio Mazzei Quintet
Alessio Mazzei guitar
Emanuele Bono softly
Emanuela Maglione voice
Ludovico Aru double bass
Federico Balestra drums
Trained in the ranks of Saint Louis, guitarist Alessio Mazzei immediately tried his hand at composing original songs, gradually refining his writing. His style starts from jazz but moves decisively towards other genres such as rock / pop / progressive, moving away from the bebop tradition. Through his passages, the composer paints images drawn from his experience and from the experiences collected around the world.
“A” Quintet
Emanuela Maglione voice
Valerio Apuzzo trumpet
Emanuele “Manny” Fioretti piano
Vincenzo Quirico double bass
Federico Balestra drums
"A" Quintet is a formation made up of young Italian musicians active on the Roman scene, born in 2021 from an idea of Emanuela Maglione (vocals) and Valerio Apuzzo (trumpet). The staff are completed by the pianist Manny Fioretti and the well-established rhythm section consisting of Vincenzo Quirico (double bass) and Federico Balestra (drums).
The quintet ranges from the interpretation of sophisticated jazz tunes to the versatility of contemporary jazz, also combined in original pieces with individual and collective signature.
The group's main focus is undoubtedly improvisation, here an instrument of dialogue declined in its many forms and articulated in a path that, starting from the jazz of the American tradition, leads us to the sounds of the first twenty years of this new millennium.
