“The musicians layer polyphonic melodies, harmony, and rhythm into rich sonic textures... The sounds behave like a magic wand; even before they have properly reached your eardrum, they change color. And how beautifully the Italian origins resonate in the melodic lines.”

Emil Roes - Jazzism

L’album “Incontri” di Federica Lorusso (14 febbraio 2025, ZenneZ Records) può essere considerato una sorta di evoluzione del suo primo album “Outside Introspections”. Ancora una volta, ritroviamo introspezione e riflessioni personali, tuttavia i temi diventano più consapevoli. Lo sguardo si rivolge ora alle questioni sociali, assumendo un tono più maturo e definito.

Dopo un viaggio di quattro mesi a New York (dove Federica ha composto gran parte dell’album), una città dinamica piena di opportunità ma anche di molte contraddizioni, questo album vuole essere un invito ad ascoltare se stessi e il mondo circostante, a riconnettersi con la natura, con il proprio bambino interiore e con le persone intorno, in un mondo in cui rumore, velocità, individualismo e il prevalere sugli altri per il proprio successo sembrano essere le pietre angolari su cui si fonda la società odierna.

Pur traendo ispirazione dalla tradizione jazzistica, l’album non si limita a un solo genere. Al contrario, esplora una gamma variegata di stili musicali, incorporando elementi di jazz fusion, musica contemporanea e sonorità sperimentali. L’improvvisazione rimane un pilastro della musica, permettendo spontaneità ed esplorazione creativa in ogni composizione.

LE TESTIMONIANZE

Cosa dicono di me

“An incredible swinging, creative and soulful piano player and composer. Lorusso is an amazing talent to keep in mind”

Eric Ineke
Jazz drummer, teacher at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague
“I have had the privilege to have Federica as a main subject student during the last two years of her Bachelor study at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague (2018-2020). She was and is very much steeped in the hard-bop tradition but she showed a great eagerness and willingness to work hard on deepening her knowledge of other directions of jazz and to explore more free, abstract and/or lyrical forms of improvisation. It was a joy to see her fast development in those two years, both technically and artistically. In a short time she had turned into a more versatile musician who likes to challenge herself and who is able move in different- and even contrasting directions without losing her identity as an improviser and composer, always with the jazz tradition in its’ broadest form present. Apart from being a pianist she is also a wonderful singer which, makes her profile as an artist even stronger in my opinion. The snippets I see of her development lately (unfortunately through the Socials only, because of Covid times) show that the line of development I have seen is continuing and extending at the Conservatoire of Amsterdam where she is doing her Master, which of course makes me very curious to hear her live soon again when the times allow it.”

"Born to be servants of this art, that gives, often takes... Born to be merchants of feelings, they hear you. Preacious and faithful, just trust it... Let it lead you... There's no time to think of a closed door when music begins."
