notes

Q-Bizm was born in 1997 during a vacation in Switzerland when Filippo Gaetani (bass & vocals), Francesco Corrias (drums) and ETN Hunyady (guitar) met for a long bass-guitar-drums jam. The first official recording took place live in the studio at Le Bozze in Tuscany, Italy, during a weekend of July 2000.The recordings were mostly live improvisations, the material was then turned into songs. In 2001 two guests friends musicians, Steph D'Silva, a british guitarist, and Valentin Gerlier with his acoustic guitar playing, his vocals, and his vision helped to shape the sound of the new songs. The result of the 2000 and 2001 recordings is the band's first album "Q-Bizm". The second album "Vivid", a big step ahead in composition research and production, was recorded during different sessions in july, october and december 2002 plus 2003 and 2004. The new compositions and production reflect the influence of the musicians who took part in the new project: Thomas Murley (vocals, drums and percussion), Walter Paoli (Drums), Stefano Lunardi (Electric and acoustic violin, and viola) and Alessandro Riccucci on tenor, baritone saxophone and flute.New sounds are now explored adding interesting new flavours to the already varied musical spectrum spanning from acoustic, funk-rock & jazz to electronic.

  • Hipnotic, smooth, and exotic !
    author: Ken Hart

    Hipnotic, smooth, and exotic ! Like the wafting aroma of hashish lingering across the busy market bazaar, this intoxicating number tastes of worldly spices from every sensuous flavor in the global community! An arrangement steeped in mood and mystique, the rhythmic allure is more than enticing. Exotic melodic fragrances grace the senses with a hint of luxury, a promise of plush texture, and the sly feel of model manipulation - man, this is more than a listening experience... It's a momentary excursion off to far away places, where faces familiar and strange blend into an atmosphere of calculated chaos, where peaceful pause and hectic harmony merge as one. Modern electronic technology, acoustic and midi instrumentation, voices and vessels of spirit all combine in this orchestrated offering -- no place you've ever been before, and there you are, transcended... Fan-freakin-tastic! And it's a legal high! The musicianship gracing this performance is woven from the zone of masters. Violin phrasing that would make Jean-Luc Ponty tingle with delight! Drumming that would challenge Peter Erskine's sense of feel! Bass playing that would make Charlie Mingus weep! A world jazz savoire too rich for the traditionalist invites them in for a glimpse of the far horizon. Dynamic nuances embellish this exotic gem like jewels in sunlight, unexpected changes, turns at unforseen corners, a soundscape unparallelled. Words only fall flat in describing this trip! This is an experience that simply has to be experienced! Absolutely awesome!

  • Mozart On Drugs
    author: Karma Diver

    Mozart On Drugs If Mozart were ever to experiment with some serious drugs, this would be the result of his madness. This is awesome! The disjointed piano and violin harmonies here are really neato. This is definitely experimental jazz no doubt and very different sounding. Cool effects are being used here. Sax is done nicely to match the rest of the chilled madness. Very good experimental stuff. Cool! - Karma_Diver Florida July 22nd, 2005
