'SOHO SESSIONS' The new album from Andrea Rinciari released today!

OUT TODAY! Andrea Rinciari's 'Soho Sessions' Italian jazz guitarist Andrea Rinciari’s new recording, Soho Sessions, presents eight carefully curated jazz standards and hidden gems with a stellar quartet featuring tenor saxophonist Alex Garnett, bassist Lorenzo Morabito and drummer Mark Taylor. “The album represents a great period of my life where I was playing in Soho every week with this band and we were able to create a vast repertoire of tunes by various different composers, from American songbook composers to the most obscure bebop artists,” explains Rinciari. “So, the tracks of this album are a good representation of those tunes.”

Soho Sessions features a mix of classic and lesser-known compositions, including a Barry Harris arrangement of ‘Bean And The Boys’, a rare John Collins piece (‘John’s Delight’), and a reharmonised ‘I Can’t Get Started’ inspired by Teddy Wilson. Other highlights include a fresh take on ‘Tea For Two’, Bud Powell’s groove-driven ‘John’s Abbey’, and deep cuts by Freddie Redd and Elmo Hope/Sonny Rollins, ‘Time to Smile’ and ‘Carvin’ the Rock’ respectively. The album closes with Rinciari’s signature contrapuntal solo interpretation of ‘Polka Dots And Moonbeams’.

Join the Andrea Rinciari Quartet as they launch 'Soho Sessions' at Pizza Express Jazz Club, Soho on Monday 16 May. Book now!
