KÓSMOS is the name of the trio composed by pianist Stefano Falcone, drummer Giuseppe D’Alessandro and bass player llaria Capalbo. It outlines an idea of music that is eloquent and purpose-driven, originating from the band’s cohesive, strong creative urgency. A fearless attitude to improvisation and extemporary practices together with grounded composition work make up for a bold trio sound that strikes as being equally fresh in approach and rooted in the idioms of jazz tradition and classical European music. The first recorded work of the trio is Back Home, a concept album dedicated and inspired by the life and vision of jazz pianist Lennie Tristano, which includes elaborations and arrangements of some of his tunes as well as original compositions by all band members.

 
 
 

AVERNO (2023)

Named after a lake in Bacoli, Italy, which in ancient times was believed to be the entrance to the underworld and the reign of Hades, ‘Averno’ is a collection of original compositions united by their melancholic, contemplative, ECM-esque tone. Folk-tinged melodies, dark harmony and mesmeric passages of pulse-less texture provide the listener with hypnotic mental imagery of the album’s namesake.
