Info for Avec le temps

“Avec Le Temps” is the new exciting Giovanni Guidi’s project: the band has recorded an album for ECM that will be released on March 2019 and it is composed by the most talented italian musicians: Francesco Bearzatti on tenor sax/clarinet (the most important italian sax player of the new generation), Roberto Cecchetto on guitar (during his intense career he met on his path great musicians as Enrico Rava, Paolo Fresu, Richard Galliano and many others), Thomas Morgan on bass (he recently recorded a beautiful duo album with Bill Frisell) and Joao Lobo on drums (Giovanni Guidi long time collaborator). All the band members share the same idea: making music with an immediate impact, focusing on lyrical and melodic aspects not leaving aside the chance to take a journey to new and unknown territories.

Avec le temps was recorded at Studios La Buisonne in November 2017 and produced by Manfred Eicher.
