The bassist in the group, Stefano Senni, has played with Memoli for over a decade (trio “Feliec”, The Steve Grossman Quartet, tours with Dave Schnitter, Lew Tabackin, Eddie Henderson, John Mosca and many more); on drums we find Joris Dudli, again a steady partner of both leaders during the last few years (also precious sideman of – among many others - Vincent Herring, Steve Grossman, Benny Golson.... and founder of the “Yours Truly” Quintet).

The musical style of the quartet comes from the various but complementary experiences of its members, who all have roots in the tradition but naturally evolved towards a modern instrumental and compositional language, linked to both Afro-American and European jazz developements.

This is my first time becoming acquainted with saxophonist Ralph Reichert and I can honestly say he possesses his own brand of creativity, imagination, and a wonderful command of both the tenor and soprano saxes, which is demonstrated in particular on El Cahon, Amapola and Isfahan. His deep rooted tenor tone is somewhat reminiscent of Stan Getz, with his very own personal stamp attached to it.
