In The Eyes Of The Whale, by Michelangelo Scandroglio

In The Eyes Of The Whale

by Michelangelo Scandroglio

supported by

Noel Megahey I saw Michelangelo Scandroglio and his band perform as a very complementary support act to Kendrick Scott Oracle at Ronnie Scott's back in February 2020. In The Eyes of the Whale captures the same sense of mood and sophistication in the production and arrangements, with smooth guitar and saxophone solos but it also captures the raw edge and energy that was evident in the live performances. Great band, hope to hear more from them. Favorite track: Disappearing Part II.

Manuel D. Rodriguez Love this track!!!

about

Italian double bass player Michelangelo Scandroglio’s “In The Eyes of the Whale” is his debut album as a leader. Deeply inspired by new contemporary jazz, the recording features a lineup of international rising stars.
Penned by Scandroglio, all seven originals combine layered melodies, intersecting and merging into each other – thus bringing an ever-changing discourse to the listener.
This solid lineup highlights Alessandro Lanzoni’s beautiful pianism, Bernardo Guerra’s aggressive drumming, American trumpet player Hermon Mehari’s minimal contemplative approach, London-based guitar player Peter Wilson’s rock energy and Michele Tino's virtuosity on alto sax. Among the finest names in world-class contemporary jazz and special guest, Logan Richardson takes the band’s music to a new dimension.

Dizzy Atmosphere

This is a wonderful album! Dave Douglas is one of my heroes. He's more than a great musician. He has a vision for the music and a feeling for putting together a group which is unique. So, beside Joey Baron (another heavyweight and one of my absolute favourite drummers) he invited some young cats to this session. They play just great and make sure that this music sounds totally fresh, whilst at the same time being deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. Florian Arbenz
