"Sound Landscapes" by JOP Orchestra

After almost three years of work, the first album of the Jazz On Parma Orchestra has been published by Trifonica Record. I am happy to have been involved again by a dear and esteemed friend and colleague, Beppe Di Benedetto, with whom I have been collaborating for twenty years. The collective includes new and old talents from the Parma area. An album of original music arranged with meticulousness and research.
