CLAUDIO FILIPPINI TRIO The Enchanted Garden

Claudio Filippini - piano and keyboards

Luca Bulgarelli - bass

Marcello Di Leonardo - drums

The pianist from Pescara (Italy), born in 1982, is now much more than a rising star in his homeland, the fact that he is the most sought-out pianist testifies to this. Filippini, regardless of his age, is a mature musician, intelligent and capable. An artist who, through his writing, knows how to give unparalleled depth to a solid and refined piano technique. Intriguing in its unlimited spaces and rock flavor, and captivating in its ballads and mid tempos. A jazz language that will make quite a stir far beyond national borders, because the music of "The Enchanted Garden" can know no boundaries.

"...it’s enlivened by the sense that this is a working group and by the sheer vivacity of execution and ideas that Filippini brings to it. A 13-piece repertoire, probably intended to show what the group can do, includes a majority of somewhat shortish performances. But based on the pianist’s lyrical waltz, “Art of Survival”, his robust “The Beast Instinct” (with a superb solo by Bulgarelli), and the way the familiar “You Must Believe in Spring” and “Django” are handled with subtlety and imagination, Filippini is clearly a talent on the way up in a fine trio." (Ray Comiskey, Irish Times)

“Musical stories full of imagination and depth; Claudio's improvisations reveal to us a language of beauty, generating music of such density and intensity...Bravo!” (Enrico Pieranunzi)
