2-Spaghi 4et
2-Spaghi 4et is a jazz pop quartet founded by Davide Romeo (vocals and saxophones) and Fra Luise (keyboards). Dean Montanaro plays the bass, and Pete Galea is on percussions. Their music spans across Italian pop, including artists like Pino Daniele, Lucio Dalla, Ron, Bruno Martino, Mia Martini, and others, as well as international pop and bossa nova. The sound of this quartet is distinctly Mediterranean, yet infused with American influences due to the background of the musicians. They showcase original arrangements and modern experiments on timeless classics.

Line Of The Day - Project
In these videos, I analyze jazz phrases and explain how to study them.
The videos I present offer a unique opportunity to dive into the world of jazz language and understand the nuances and techniques that make the genre so fascinating. Each jazz phrase is a meaningful musical unit, often rich in swing, syncopation, and altered notes. Through detailed analysis of these phrases, I highlight the key elements that compose them, such as the scales and harmonic progressions used.
I also explain how to effectively study these jazz phrases. I provide practical tips on how to practice, breaking down the phrases into smaller segments, and working on technique and interpretation. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of listening to and imitating the great jazz masters to assimilate the language and specific style of the genre.
