about

HORA Records is pleased to announce the release of ‘InFormal Setting’, the debut album of rising Italian pianist and composer Federico Nuti. 'InFormal Setting' will be released on September 23rd, 2022.

In addition to the leader on the piano, the band includes four of the most distinctive voices of Italy's emerging generation: Jacopo Fagioli on trumpet, Francesco Panconesi on tenor saxophone, Amedeo Verniani on double-bass and Mattia Galeotti on drums: what might seem like a classic trumpet-tenor-piano-bass-drums quintet is brought to the cutting edge thanks to the leader’s exceptional compositional vision, and by the outstanding creative personalities of the five young musicians.

Nuti, a graduate from the renowned New England Conservatory of Boston, founded the band with the idea of exploring the intricacies and subtleties to be found where improvisational freedom and formal structure intersect. Indeed, this music is deeply informed by avant-garde movements in European and North American jazz and contemporary music placing Nuti at the center of a vital current of contemporary jazz currently developing in Italy.

The word “formal” usually indicates obedience to - or acceptance of - established forms and requirements, whereas the negating prefix 'in' suggests its opposite, something unceremonious and spontaneous. InFormal Setting is a space in which both aspects may coexist in music, an open frame which unites the opposites, shaping and supporting the images that pass through it, in constant flux.

Each piece tells a story of its own, reminiscent us of programmatic music, but with ample space dedicated to the group's imaginative and richly varied improvisations.

'InFormal Setting' will be available on CD and digital formats, and will be anticipated by the single ‘Remains of Human Connections,' which will be released on September 9th.
