Travels

The project was originally recorded in Rome as a trio featuring Giampaolo Scatozza on drums, Luciano Zanoni on keyboards, and Giovanni Di Cosimo on flugelhorn. The recordings were later enriched by special guest appearances, including Trevor Watts (alto saxophone), Kari Bannerman from Osibiza (guitar), Ravi Naimpally (tabla), Pierpaolo Principato (piano), Andrea Rosatelli (bass), and vocalists Nina Pedersen, Barbara Eramo, and Raffaela Siniscalchi. Widely recognized as a session drummer, Giampaolo Scatozza is also an accomplished composer whose musical background spans electronic, jazz, pop, and world music. Over the years, he has collaborated with leading figures in London’s pop scene such as Paul Young, Tom Jones, Curiosity Killed the Cat, Groove Armada, and Emma Bunton. In the jazz world, Giampaolo has shared the stage with acclaimed artists including Trevor Watts, Evan Parker, Gilad Atzmon, Michael Olatuja, Kellylee Evans, Four80East, Sundar Viswanathan, and John Medeski.
