Jazz that goes deep into the blues, that seeks the brightest groove, a group that is a machine for generating feel- good music… look no further, it still exists!

A repertoire combining the Great American Songbook and magnificent compositions, all arranged masterfully with that absolute desire for swing.

Everyone is familiar with bassist Nicola Sabato's efforts to spread the good word of jazz in its most exciting form. With vibraphonist Jacques Di Costanzo, he reinvents this repertoire as only true jazz lovers know how: with fidelity to the groove, a desire to play, and a passion for sharing.

A respected sideman, Nicola Sabato has played with Jeff Hamilton, Tamir Hendelman, Craig Handy, Kirk Lightsey, Ted Curson, Harry Allen, Florin Niculescu, Jesse Davis, and many others. An inspired leader, he has released six superb albums showcasing a musical universe imbued with a clear aesthetic vision: deep grooves, playfully inventive arrangements, a strong sense of the blues, and a collective enthusiasm. His latest album, "California Hang," recorded in Los Angeles with the cream of the crop of Californian jazz, is proof of this.

He once again applies this passion to swing with Jacques di Costanzo, an exceptional vibraphonist, who is as impressive on a dizzying tempo as he is on a sensitive and moving ballad. His compositional skills and stylistic versatility, acquired in particular during his seven years in Latin America, are essential assets that Jacques brings to the quartet.

Accompanied by pianist Patrick Cabon (Scott Hamilton, Joe Magnarelli, Alvin Queen…) and Valentin Martel (drummer with a very solid and communicative swing), the two leaders work wonders in radiant jubilation.
