EmAb Connection

EmAb Connection is the new recording project of the Venetian label nusica.org: a surprising debut born and moving between the Italian regions of Abruzzo and Emilia Romagna. The first encounter between <a href="spotify:artist:6UdFuyjBfvrIJ6qb3gYsKj" data-name="Manuel Caliumi">Manuel Caliumi</a> (sax) and <a href="spotify:artist:19JlrP6uf70RWqn2c3Ysbr" data-name="Luca di Battista">Luca di Battista</a> (drums) was in Chicago in 2015, thanks to a scholarship won by the College of Columbia – Jazz Department. Once returned to Italy, since 2018 they have been undertaking the project of a quartet able to represent the musical ensemble among the two regions. <a href="spotify:artist:5dDXTI6O0vQfGOWQkHDUa9" data-name="Giulio Gentile">Giulio Gentile</a> (piano) and <a href="spotify:artist:1lfXmrH0cMWnMeNxIJa0wv" data-name="David Paulis">David Paulis</a> (doublebass) also joined the project, as friends and musicians.
What blooms on this transregional axis is a unique musical and human undersanding, that imme-diately took shape with the drafting of new passages co-written, in which it’s possible to recognize the musical identities of each of them within formation.
The Quartet has started working on the repertoire since 2019, and after less than a year, the new first album recording was released: Unsaid, a tribute to everything that in music remains unex-pressed, silent, unsaid.
