Sounds Like: >"...Acoustic guitarist Simone Guiducci and his Gramelot Ensemble have defined a new musical language that combine indigenous Northern Italian folk music with modern jazz. Inspired by the invented "gramelot" language of 15th century troubadours , 16th Century Monteverdian fundamental discords and the modern gramelot of playwright Dario Fo, the Ensemble's latest release, Chorale, exposes a quintet that is in a search of a broader musical patois but at the same time is confortable with its roots. Like the troubadours - who drew upon multiple dialects and invented words to produce a gramelot in which word sounds lost their literal meaning so that they could be understood by all - the Gramelot Ensemble has drown upon differing musical styles to produce a cohesive musical experience that all can enjoy..."
>Elliot Simon (All About Jazz New York, Usa)
"L'obsession du chant , le sens des nuances , une histoire à raconter , le plaisir des arrangements naturels , l'improvisation parce que l'éphemère est une philosophie de vie , le pied léger qui démange...Soit sept compositions nées de la voix première , chantées avant d'etre jouées , selon le dire de Guiducci , tranquilles , épanouies , irresistibles... "
Alex Dutilh (JazzMan, France)
"Not only is Italian acoustic guitarist Simone Guiducci a strong soloist , but he's very adept when infusing jazz talents as Chris Speed , Erik Friedlander , Ralph Alessi into his master plan. And of course , Guiducci leads a fine sextet consisting of a clarinet/accordion based attack atop a powerful rhythm section. Guiducci's radiant compositional fortitude features a potpourri of regally pronounced statements and Mediterranean themes , garnished with the soloists' feisty improvisations.No doubt , Guiducci's Gramelot Ensemble performs with overt elements of soul and panache via an idealized sense of purpose, as they combine soft melodies with torrid episodes....Unassumingly charismatic, Guiducci continues to flaunt his personalized approach to modern jazz in a conclusively prolific way !"
