In the Eyes of the Whale

Winner of the Conad Contest of Umbria Jazz 2019, Michelangelo Scandroglio is leading a quintet of absolute talents that will make its recording debut with "In the Eyes of the Whale" his debut album as composer and leader, to be released by "Auand Records" in January 2020. A work deeply inspired by the new contemporary jazz current, where the music is characterized by several layers of melodies that follow each other, intertwine and merge, offering the listener a speech in constant evolution. Alessandro Lanzoni's piano blends perfectly with Bernardo Guerra's aggressive drumming; Hermon Mehari's trumpet, essential and reflective, contrasts with the virtuosity of Michele Tino's sax.
