The Vital Information

In cooperation with EMMECI srl

www.emmeci.biz

Line up: 

STEVE SMITH - drums
MANUEL VALERA - keyboards
JANEK GWIZDALA - el. bass

The new trio version of Steve Smith and Vital Information collectively creates a powerhouse sound. Although the band is rooted in the straight-ahead swing of bebop, at times the group explores exotic time-signatures from the world of South Indian Carnatic music and have arranged adventurous funk-driven renditions of jazz standards. Seeing Steve Smith and Vital Information live in concert is a perfect opportunity to experience their high-level musicianship, sense of joy onstage and collective virtuosic improvisation.

SIMON PHILLIPS
Protocol V

In Cooperation with EMMECI srl

www.emmeci.biz

Line up:

Simon Philips - drums
Ernest Tibbs - el. bass
Otmaro Ruiz - keyboards
Alex Sill - el. guitar
Jacob Scesney - sax

Jazz. Rock. Jazz-rock. Across more than four decades, legendary drummer Simon Phillips has shown an uncanny ability to excel in most any musical environment. Precision, intensity and emotion are hallmarks of Simon’s sound in every setting. And working with many of the world’s most prominent musicians from an early age, he has repeatedly made his mark through scores of historic recordings and tours around the globe.

While the first Protocol release was in 1989, Simon’s compositions really began to gel with the Protocol II album in 2013. This release brought together high-profile rock guitarist Andy Timmons with jazz-funk keyboardist Steve Weingart (Dave Weckl) and electric bassist Ernest Tibbs (Allan Holdsworth). Protocol II firmly established Simon’s new lineup as one of the truly great bands in jazz-rock history. The same lineup appeared on Protocol III in 2015.

Ernest Tibbs continued in the bass chair for the release of Protocol IV in 2017, but this record featured a major league rock session guitarist named Greg Howe (Michael Jackson) along with the dynamic young keyboardist Dennis Hamm (Thundercat). Still utilizing the quartet format, Protocol IV presents Simon’s strongest compositions yet — and it was nominated for a GRAMMY Award in the Contemporary Instrumental Album category.

Simon toured extensively as leader in 2019, celebrating Protocol’s 30th Anniversary and playing tunes from each of the previous albums. However, the lineup was tweaked once again, this time to become a quintet, including veteran keyboardist Otmaro Ruiz (John McLaughlin), Jacob Scesney on saxophones and the brilliant young guitarist Alex Sill.

2022 sees the release of Protocol V. The band features Ernest Tibbs (bass), Otmaro Ruiz (keys), Jacob Scesney (horns) and Alex Sill (guitar) and is a high energy driven collection of tunes with that Simon Phillips signature we’ve come to expect from the Protocol legacy!

MALTED MILK

In collaboration with EMMECI srl 

www.emmeci.biz

ONLY for Italy

In cooperation with Cashmere prod 

https://www.cashmere-prod.com/ 

In its current form, enhanced by the arrival of brilliant new elements, the continent's most fearsome soul band is a true war machine. Malted Milk recently celebrated its 20-year career in a Stereolux filled with fans over-excited by its electrifying repertoire propelled by its brass section. Born as a blues duo, as it grew up, Malted Milk gradually invested its spirit of the African American soul until it found a perfect alchemy in recent years. The band stands out from other European ensembles for its ability to escape the blues cover band syndrome through its creativity. It's a mixture of funk, brass riffs, slender guitars, nervous bass lines and organ growls ... enhanced by Arnaud's voice. A real bomb of the French soul funk blues scene!

EP « Let Me Ride » released on October 2021 : https://soundcloud.com/maltedmilkmusic/sets/malted-milk-ep-2021-let-me/s-4l7oNV39dnN

Tom was also one of the youngest endorsed by the prestigious brands Ibanez Guitars and DV Mark Amp. He collaborates regularly with Ibanez by composing the music of the videos on which he promotes new models of guitar.

He is the holder of numerous prizes such as the SACEM Young Talent Award 2013 and 2014, the Jazzophare 2015 Special Jury Prizethe Jeune Espoir Action Jazz Prize in 2016, several Rives Awards and the Oloron-Sainte-Marie Notes in 2017.  At the end of 2017, he became the first winner of the prestigious PrixOne Rising Stars Jazz Award, awarded by an international jury including Jamie Cullum, Brian Bacchus, Mikhail Fridman, Karen Frivik and Sebastien Vidal.
