Info for Easytude live

This album is part of the recordings I made on the occasion of the concerts of the 1st edition of the fonè Music Festival Piaggio 2019.

The concerts organized by Giulio Cesare Ricci were held at the Piaggio Auditorium located inside the famous Museum in Pontedera, the place where Piaggio was born and where it still continues to produce today.

Inside the Museum every year the public from all over the world can admire the Piaggio production made over the years, all the models of the Vespe and Ape, all the Aprilia, Gilera and Moto Guzzi motorcycles that have won national and international awards over time.

For each recording Giulio Cesare Ricci brought all his equipment both analog (Ampex ATR 102 Electronic Tube Ampex Model 351-1965, 2 tracks, 1/2 inch, 30ips modified by David Manley) and digital (Pyramix Recorder, dCS A/D and D/A converters). As for the microphones he used his original collection of Neumann U47, U48, M49 in addition to the mike pre-amplifier and Signoricci cables.

Also for this recording he used a "field effect" recording technique, natural sound, without the use of equalizers, no sound expansion and compression systems..... all this to bring the listener to live again in his home hifi system, the live effect as if he were present at the concert.

This album features Julian Mazzariello - piano and Enzo Pietropaoli - double bass.

These two great jazz musicians have played and recorded many discs together, but it is the first time that they appear in a duo formation.

Honestly, it is an understatement to call them duo since in each song they played they looked like a single instrument. The artists alternated pieces from the international repertoire, to highlight two pieces by Cole Porter Just one of those things and I concentrate on you; the only piece of the Italian repertoire present in this album is Dalle radici by Eduardo De Crescenzo.

Their interpretation and the dialogue that each time they "intertwined" between the two instruments was truly magical, a total timbre, musical and interpretative fusion .... a masterpiece!

The natural sound fonè has fully enhanced all the sounds of the two instruments.

Each listener, closing his eyes, will be able to relive the emotion of the live as if he were present at the performance of these two great artists.

Julian Mazzariello, piano
Enzo Pietropaoli, double bass

Julian Oliver Mazzariello
born in 1978, is a jazz pianist from Salerno of English origin, a musician. He is an artist who was able to draw all his talent from the Salerno School of Jazz in order to be able to take off. From a very young age, he has performed on the most famous stages in Italy with internationally renowned artists such as Lucio Dalla and Stefano Di Battista.

Julian Oliver Mazzariello was born in Hatfield in England to a Cavalier father and an English mother. Thanks to the passion for music passed on by his drummer father, the Anglo-Italian jazz pianist began studying piano early on.

At the age of seven, he began to cultivate his talent and, when he was only thirteen, he won the competition for promising young musicians organised by the Daily Telegraph newspaper.

In 1995, Julian moved to Cava where he got to know the greats of the Salerno jazz scene. He meets, in fact, Dario Deidda and the other brothers and, again, Daniele Scannapieco and Gegè Telesforo. With them he takes part in a jam session that will remain indelible in the pianist's memory.

In 1998, the jazz pianist won the 'Massimo Urbani' award, but his career continues to grow. So much so that with Nicky Nicolai and Stefano di Battista he participates in the 55th edition of the 'Festival di Sanremo'. They win the group section. At the same time, he took part in the TV programme 'Il Senso della vita' with Paolo Bonolis.

And then there are High Five Quintet, the historic group that Julian helped found and the important collaboration with Lucio Dalla.
