BLACK MUSIC duo

Trumpeter Mattia Salvadori and guitarist Diego Ruschena have given birth to a project which buries its roots into black american music. Their repertoire ranges from New Orleans’ tipical jazz blues (Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong), historical soul music ballads (Ray Charles, Sam Cooke), up to 60’s and 70’s funk (Pee Wee Ellis, Maceo Parker, Herbie Hancock).

BLACK MUSIC duo

Georgia on my mind

Since Monday 6th November 2017 their interpretation of the famous standard Georgia on my mind will be online at mmmBop Promo YouTube channel. The videoclip has been shot at the beautiful Giardino Scotto Park in Pisa, hometown of the two Italian musicians.

Video Director: Daniele Milano; Audio Engineer: Alessandro Sportelli.

Hoagy Carmichael’s tune, hymn for integration made famous by Ray Charles’ version,  has been played in a totally acoustic setting, where musicians’ complicity succeeds on keeping  intensity at the highest level.

First winter tour

In fact, the magnetism which features their live set is the driving force of their first winter tour, starting Thursday 23rd November 2017 at Il Sottobosco Café in Pisa. There will follow other gigs at main Italian cities of Turin, Milan, Rome, and also some dates in England: this opportunity was made possible by an English promoter, met during the Black Music duo show in the Italian city of Domodossola. Gigs updates will be announced soon at the Facebook page MmmBop Promo.
