Fantàsia is an original concept album combining the worlds of acoustic and electronic music. With ample room left for improvisation, the sound of the ensemble led by Rome-based double bassist Jacopo Ferrazza is strongly influenced by four backgrounds: modern jazz, chamber music, the late Romantic movement and electronic music. These seemingly distant spheres find a fascinating synergy in Fantàsia, where the listener can immerse himself and explore sound planes that are always different and articulated.
Jacopo Ferrazza has won numerous awards and honors, including best bassist in the “Jimmy Woode Award” competition, and was listed among the top three Italian talents in Musica Jazz magazine’s Top Jazz 2017 and 2019.During his career he has played with formidable artists (Dave Liebman, Nicola Piovani, Fabrizio Bosso, Enrico Rava, Paolo Fresu, Mario Biondi, Enrico Pieranunzi, etc.) and performed at festivals and jazz clubs in Europe, United States, Asia and Africa, Jacopo Ferrazza has recorded four album as a leader, two for CAM jazz label, a double bass solo album called Wood Tales and his latest 5tet album called Fantàsia.
