"Dreams and emotions of city" album entirely composed by Claudio, who here plays the battery, the percussions, the sinth and piano,on his side we find the guitarist Donnie Romano and Simone Scolari trumpet and as special guest the singer Martina Gianotti in a track.The artistic purpose is clear since the first listening, Scolari loves to test and to seek new expression languages, taking inspiration from musics like jazz, blues and ethnic music. He plays with blending, decomposing and ricomponing rhythms and melodies giving new life and color to ancient always new emotions.
Scolari had the honor of to collaborate with some of the most prestigious italian symphonic orchestras starting from the National Symphonic Orchestra of the Italian Broadcasting Corporation. He participated in four editions of the Pavarotti & Friends and collaborated with a considerable number of artists, going from Uto Ughi to Steve Gadd, but if you want to go deeper I suggest you to visit his internet site www.claudioscolari.com where you will be able to find all the information on this artist.

Experimental Italian composer and drummer
author: Norman Darwen
Experimental Italian composer and drummer/ percussionist/ pianist Claudio Scolari has come up with a set that should certainly intrigue and fascinate the more (or very!) broad-minded blues lover. Whilst some tracks seem to owe almost everything to contemporary classical music or free form jazz, and some are poems, music that sets a mood and creates images in the listener’s mind, some are jazzy in a Duke Ellington or Miles Davis kind of way thanks to the trumpet playing of Simone Scolari.
The closing number is almost – almost - conventional jazz-funk. Several feature the unfettered electric blues playing of guitarist Donnie Romano, who can play sweet and melodic (try ‘City Man’) or out-and –out blues-rock (take a listen to ‘Calatrava’s Bridge’ or ‘Walk Out In The City’) . This may not be the kind of thing you’ll play over and over again but it is certainly intriguing and a different use of blues shadings. Claudio obviously does not believe in playing it safe!
