EGG Sextet feat. Alessandro Giachero & Mirco Rubegni
Mirco Mariottini (clt), Mirco Rubegni (tp), Alessandro Giachero (p), Roberto Nannetti (g), Franco Fabbrini (b), Francesco Petreni (d).
EGG projesi esas olarak Siena ve çevresinden gelen müzisyenlerden kurulu. Daha önce Siena Jazz Foundation’da dersler de veren grup elemanlarının farklı geçmişleri ve ilgileri müziklerine Brezilya ritmleri, İtalyan melodileri gibi bir çok farklı ögenin bestelerine ve emprovizasyonlarına yansımasını sağlıyor.
Grubun Türkiye’ye 2009’daki ilk ziyaretinden sonra çıkardıkları ‘URLA’ isimli CD adından da anlaşılacağı gibi grubun İzmir ve Urla’ya ziyaretinden ve yaşadıklarından esinleniyor. ‘Urla’ kelimesinin İtalyanca’da Urla’nın ruhuna son derece ters düşen ‘bağırmak, çığlık atmak’ gibi bir anlama gelmesi de müzisyenler için ilginç bir detay olmuş.
18. İzmir Avrupa Caz Festivali için ülkemize gelen ve İzmir’den sonra İstanbul ayağında Nardis’te sahne alacak olan EGG’nin dört üyesine trompetçi Mirco Rubegni ve piyanist Alessandro Giachero da katılacak.
Giriş: 30 TL, Öğrenci: 15 TL

Formed by musicians who are originally from Siena and the surrounding region, but have a wide national and international experience and are all currently teaching different courses for the Siena Jazz foundation, the EGG project builds on the different interests and backgrounds: electric and acoustic music, brazilian rhythms, italian melodies, all fused into improvisations over mostly original themes. Alternating instruments (acoustic and electic guitar and bass, clarinet and bass clarinet, a rich percussion set) adds to the variety of colors provided by the ensemble.
The lyrical quality of the music is enhanced by swinging grooves, and the sound of the quartet is based on an original combination of sophisticated timbric research and powerful rhytmic thrust.
After their first visit to Turkey in 2009 the quartet released a Cd titled “URLA” inspired in part by the sounds and feelings of their sojourn in Izmir, concluded by a visit to the coastal village of Urla whose tranquility was in sharp and funny contrast for them with the Italian meaning of the word (“Shouts”). In these past two years Roberto Nannetti worked with some aspects and themes of Turkish music inspired by the records by Erkan Ogur. They are traveling to Turkey within the ongoing collaboration coordinated by journalist and scholar Francesco Martinelli among the European Jazz Festival organized in Izmir by IKSEV and the Siena Jazz Foundation, which in the past five years promoted a joint educational program giving purses to study in Siena to selected students of the seminars held in Izmir.
For the 2011 Izmir European Jazz festival the four members of the EGG project have been joined by trumpetist Mirco Rubegni and pianist Alessandro Giachero.

Pianist Alessandro Giachero is a member of the Siena Jazz faculty and has studied both classical and jazz/avantgarde music and composition in Italy and England. He studied also with Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell, Muhal Richard Abrams, William Parker and Stefano Battaglia. He has a wide experience as a performer in different fields. He worked for the theatre music, among his international collaborations there is a concert with Claudio Fasoli’s quartet at L’Havana (Cuba), the Anthony Braxton European Quartet that released the 6 Cd Box “Standards (2006)” and the William Parker Resonance Quartet with Hamid Drake. He leads different groups such as trios, quartet and an ensemble with a string quartet. He experiments both structured compositions and free improvisation where he builds a structure instantaneously to develop it during the performance. He writes small ideas based on musical parameters, such as sounds intervals or rhythms, creating a structure based on the original material. For larger ensembles, such as the group with the string quartet, he uses contemporary compositional techniques, with an emphasis on the writing, opening in some parts of the composition to open improvisation using the original materials. He has also developed improvised piano solo recitals, where he can explore the music without a pre-existing style or musical models, letting the music going out from himself, without preconceived idea, conditioning or limitations.
Trumpet player Mirco Rubegni, from Montepulciano in the heart of Chianti land, is the newest addition to the ranks of Tuscan jazz talents.
After studies in the local music schools, and jazz practice in the Siena Jazz Big Band, he was chosen among the participants of the first International Jazz Master program promoted by the Siena Jazz Foundation, where he studied among others with Avishai Cohen and Marco Tamburini. He’s now involved in several exciting projects including the Unknown Rebel Band led by pianist Giovanni Guidi, the Cosmic Band of trombonist Gianluca Petrella, and Rain Dogs, devoted to the music of Marc Ribot and Tom Waits, besides leading his own quintet with young local musicians.
