Flavio Giacchero – bass clarinet, soprano sax, bagpipes
Beppe Di Filippo - soprano,alto & tenor saxes
Stefano Bruno Buffa – clarinet, tenor sax
Everything you have always wanted to hear from a reed instrument but were never able to put into words. Everything you imagined it might be possible to do with a plethora of saxophones, clarinets and bagpipes but never dared request.
Satirical, serious, undefinable, ironic, meticulous, contemporary, futuristic, dated, impassioned. These are some of the adjectives which have been penned by the international press to describe the outrageous and impenitent spirit of the Trio. Four octaves of madness multiplied by three, plus sixty fingers (you need more than just a head to make music!) and what you get is the most unusual summit meeting of instrumentalists ever put together in the last two millennia. It is a group which is unbelievably ahead of its past and surprisingly behind its future. The sonic universe which the Atipico Trio navigates knows no frontiers and you need neither passports nor visas to travel with the Trio from the Caribbean to the Middle East, from Africa to the Balkans, from North America to Japan... All you need is music, be it jazz, rock, Afro, salsa, improv, ethnic or whatever. HEAR THEM! You will not be disappointed. You will only regret not having listened to them earlier!
