The Artists

Amidst the evolving Italian jazz landscape, a new generation of musicians is emerging artists who explore an innate musical vocabulary that offers a succinct commentary on Italy's dynamic jazz scene.
Featuring an assured blend of lyricism and maturity, The Ettore Carucci Quartet is one of the standout talents embodying this evolution. Their compositions reflect a sense of restraint and nuance that characterizes much of the new Italian jazz sensibility. Playtime captures the spirit of the "new Italian cool" a natural evolution from the exuberance of the Dolce Vita toward a more refined realism.
Here, music doesn't chase triumphs nor dramatize falls; instead, it speaks gently of balance and integrity, carrying a lilting, soulful quality.

Where is the Ettore Carucci Quartet from?

The Quartet hails from Puglia, in the south of Italy a region that radiates a timeless quality, partly hidden within the serenely azure waters of the Adriatic coast and the ancient Greek architecture that graces its historic centers.

You can hear the resonances of this landscape in Ettore's compositions: a balance of strength and relaxed lyricism that usually only comes with time and deep experience.
