JOHN WHEATCROFT TRIO FEAT. FILIPPO DALL'ASTA
- No reviews.
- Toulouse Lautrec Jazz Club
Description
An evening of Gypsy Jazz, both rooted in the traditions of the genre, vita and forward thinking.
Guitarist John Wheatcroft seamlessly integrates the sound and approach of modern jazz, fusion and blues with the timeless Franco-American swing of the legendary Django Reinhardt, producing a sound that is both rooted in the traditions of the genre and vital, forward thinking and is highly original. This evening John is joined by the incredible Mark Rose on double bass and the equally wonderful Filippo Dall’Asta on guitar, performing a mix of original compositions and compelling arrangements with improvisation and group interplay to the fore.
John has performed with artists as diverse as Billy Cobham (Miles Davis), Alex Acuña, John Williams, Frank Gambale (Chick Corea), Paco Peña, Paulus Schäfer, Mozes Rosenberg, Mike Clark and Bill Summers (The Headhunters), Carl Verheyen (Supertramp), Ralph Salmins, Keith Carlock and Laurence Cottle.
The evening with featuring special guest Filippo Dall’Asta, an Italian Gypsy jazz guitarist, composer, bandleader and arranger, mixing the sounds of Gypsy jazz with classical music and with the melodies of his native Italy, to forge his own style of progressive guitar playing.
Filippo began playing at the age of 5 in Parma, Italy, and studied music in his native country as well as Germany, France, Holland and India.
In 2010, at the age of 23, he arrived in the UK. He has toured and recorded with hundreds of artists such as Mozes Rosenberg, Lollo Meier, Giacomo Smith, John Wheatcroft, Gypsy Dynamite, Harp Bazaar, Tara Minton (Björk), Mehboob Nadeem, The Onironauts and many more. His touring resume covers Germany, India, Italy, France, Spain, England, Malta and Russia, with notable appearances at The Royal Albert Hall, the House of Parliament, the Tower of London, the Union Chapel, and many festivals in France and Italy.
Filippo released his first solo album in December 2018: “Mediterasian”, innovative album featuring over 20 musicians in which the erratic energy of Gypsy jazz combine with the meditative sonorities of Indian music.
The album was praised as "one of the best instrumental albums of 2018" by LA Music Critic Awards.
