i Casi

I Casi are born in Milan in 2013 as a tribute band to Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker’s piano-less
formation. The idea is soon abandoned due to the desire of all members of the group to compose
specifically for this project. The name of the quartet is inspired by the visionary lines os Russian
writer Daniil Charms, author of Casi (Eventualities), a collection of short tales that crossing absurd,
comedy and violence, constantly surprise the reader.
This musical project is based on original compositions, free from any genre label and that embrace
a wide variety fo musical influences taking distance from typical jazz characteristics.
In 2017 with label Irma Record Clunk is published.
Titled after one of Charm’s tales, the album is the
result of a collective research aiming to valorize and
make their own all the different musical languages
that influenced the four musicians involved.
In march 2019 the second album of the band is out, once again following a collaboration with Irma
Records and named like another Charm’s tale: Vecchie Che Cadono.
The work continues and strongly affirms the group’s intentions by generating a sound that becomes
every time more united and compact thank to the growing stability of the quartet and component’s constant mutual exchange.
