The release of the vinyl comes at the point of an extensive tour across the UK and Europea between now and the end of this year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the cusp of releasing this, his fourth studio recorded album, pianist and singer Ilario Ferrari has developed a distinctive compositional style that integrates instrumental contemporary jazz with vocal harmonies, adding hints of sounds and rhythms from both Indian and Mediterranean culture, alongside some classical nuances with additional influences from Ilario's southern Italian heritage. This approach is singular to Ilario Ferrari as an artist: a style that is perfectly complimented by his two well-known collaborators and rising jazz stars in their own right; drummer Katie Patterson and bassist Charlie Pyne.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of 'Above The Clouds' lies the notion of relationships. Between us and our planet, the musical and personal relationships between Ilario, Charlie and Katie, and, of course, with their loved ones. It is also about elevation and observation, from 'Above The Clouds' and from the grounded embrace of Mother Earth, impressions of love, loss, and home, expressed through a beguiling blend of vocal led songs and instrumentals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis recording is more than just a simple jazz trio album, with the trio expanding and contracting as the song requires. The Ilario Ferrari Trio's innovative approach combined with their indisputable skill promises to be a breath of fresh air in the jazz world and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIlario Ferrari: piano, piano effects \u0026amp; vocals\u003cbr\u003eCharlie Pyne: double base \u0026amp; vocals\u003cbr\u003eKetie Patterson: drums \u0026amp; vocals\u003cbr\u003ePlus: Henry Spencer: trumpet (on \"Above The Clouds\")\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55657853682038,"sku":"0810137043180","price":29.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_13738007_1193278_20250520065458.jpg?v=1747728888","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0810137043180-above-the-clouds","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
