Raffaele Casarano - European Live Tour

Description

Raffaele Casarano, saxophonist, composer, producer, and leading figure of the Italian New Jazz generation, is an artist whose roots are firmly anchored in his homeland Salento in southern Italy. Through his phrasing and artistic work, he reinterprets the sound of the African American diaspora and opens it up to contemporary influences and connections to "distant worlds" familiar with his music. This is reflected in his collaborations with internationally renowned artists, performers of various musical languages and cultural traditions, including Richard Bona, Sting, Noa, Nguyen Le, Rhani Krija, Nicolas Vicaro, and Paolo Fresu, who among others welcomed him on his Tuk Music label. It is also reflected in his extensive tours through Africa, Brazil, South Korea, Russia, and Europe, including projects like the "Sounds of Mirrors Tour" with Dhafer Youssef and the "Unstatic Tour" with Manu Katché. His artistic journey has led to seven albums released as bandleader, as well as his participation in more than 100 recordings as co-leader and collaborator. The European tour brings Raffaele Casarano to the stage for a series of concerts, where he revisits important works from his entire career. It also offers a unique opportunity to announce live the release of his new album, planned for spring 2027 on the renowned German record label ECM under the direction of Manfred Eicher, whose catalog has documented the best international jazz for decades.
