I Giganti Della Montagna - L'Arsenale Delle apparizioni

I Giganti Della Montagna is a trio founded in 2012 by Sicilian saxophonist and composer Ferdinando D'Urso, with pianist Lorenzo Paesani and cellist Federico Sconosciuto. 'L'Arsenale delle apparizioni' is their first album - the music blends elements from western art music, improvised music, jazz and Sicilian folk music.

The name of the trio - I Giganti Della Montagna (The Giants of the Mountain) - and the title of the CD - 'L'Arsenale delle Apparizioni' - refer to the last work of Sicilian playwright Luigi Pirandello. 'L'Arsenale delle Apparizioni' is a place in this work where dreams and reality mingle, a place where negative is exorcised. All the compositions are by Ferdinando D'Urso except for Due frasi, written by Andjela Bizimoska and arranged by D'Urso.

Personnel: Ferdinando D'Urso (saxophone), Lorenzo Paesani (piano), Federico Sconosciuto (cello)
