The Felice Clemente Quartet Releases "Nuvole Di Carta"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VACAVILLE, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) March 21, 2011 -- (March 21, 2011 – Los Angeles, CA) “Nuvole di Carta” marks the eighth release from Italy’s critically acclaimed Felice Clemente Quartet. Available March 20th on Crocevia di Suoni Records. Nuvole di Carta (which translates to “Paper Clouds”) is impeccable, contemporary Jazz recording featuring superb musicianship and intelligent improvisation reminiscent of such masterful players as Joe Lovano, John Coltrane and Branford Marsalis.

Recorded and mixed at ArteSuono Recording Studios - Cavalicco (UD) Italy, Nuvole di Carta features such tracks as “The Courage to Try,” “Paradossi” and “Inside Changes.” The entire album highlights the Felice Clemente Quartet’s exploration of beautiful melodies, great interplay and approachable themes -- while masterfully utilizing odd time signatures to create approachable musical motifs.

“Nuvole di Carta is my heartfelt tribute to young friend -- a beloved friend who left us at a very young age,” says Clemente. The title, ‘Nuvole di Carta’ alludes to the fusion between dreams (the clouds) and their realization (paper). Through my musical notes transcribed on paper, I wanted to give a shape to my friend's dreams.”
