<p><strong>Gramelot Ensemble Is Back!</strong></p>
<p>With a history spanning more than two decades, Simone Guiducci’s Gramelot Ensemble is widely acknowledged by critics as one of the most enduring and original projects on the Italian jazz scene. Ten years after its last album release, the group returns with “Re-Turning Point”, reaffirming the vitality of a project that has maintained a strong artistic identity over the years while remaining consistently open to musical exploration.</p>
<p>With “Re-Turning point”, new album released on Abeat Records, the guitarist and composer continues his journey alongside the project’s long-standing members: Achille Succi, Fausto Beccalossi and Salvatore Maiore, musicians who have been by his side since the band’s early days. Joining them on this occasion are pianist/arranger Oscar Del Barba, who has worked extensively with Guiducci making a valuable and refined contribution to the writing of the instrumental parts and orchestral textures, and the creative Andrea Ruggeri on drums and percussion. Far more than an occasional “special guest”, and almost an additional member of the Gramelot Ensemble – as evidenced by his participation in three previous recordings by the band since 2002 – is the extraordinary Californian trumpeter Ralph Alessi, one of the most distinctive and authoritative voices on the contemporary jazz scene. He has previously collaborated with Steve Coleman, Uri Caine, Fred Hersch and Ravi Coltrane, and is one of the leading artists on the ECM label.</p>
<p>On “Re-Turning Point”, jazz once again meets the roots of great folk music, embracing song, dance and the evocative power of melody. “The pieces unfold with an almost oral, storytelling-like spontaneity, shaped by organic improvisations, intricate timbral interplay and ever-shifting perspectives.”The title itself is a statement of intent: returning does not mean retracing the same path, but rediscovering one’s roots through a fresh perspective, embracing detours, encounters and new directions. A long-awaited return, but one that is anything but nostalgic. A new journey for  Gramelot Ensemble’s , where jazz, folk, improvisation and contemporary musical expression come together.</p>

Fra i migliori album italiani dell’anno, che definire semplicemente jazz è senza dubbio limitativo…</em></span></a></span></p>

La maturità artistica di Guiducci ha raggiunto un tale livello da non necessitare di alcun orpello, anche se di pregio….<br />
