  • Description

    Since releasing 'These Human Beings' (2015) and 'Legacy' (2018), Pericopes have been rigorously touring the world, despite living oceans apart - New York City, Paris and Milano. The saxophone, piano and drums power-trio "demonstrate power and intention" (Downbeat - USA) plus grit and creativity that has earned recognition from both industry pros and fans.

    This "cleverly unorthodox trio" (Musica Jazz - Italy) has been described as "an original, stylistically interesting" (Concerto - Austria) cross-genre band that "belongs to a new generation" (Jazz 'N' More - Switzerland) of European jazz.

    'Up' is the new chapter of Pericopes evolution. Up is a simple word with multiple meanings: Hope in a society where people always look down at their phones. A reminder to lift our heads, enhance our perspectives and create positive change. A forward, ascending direction that artists and civilizations require to survive. Pericopes draws on these inspirations to connect stories, melodies, rhythms and electronics with the past, present and future.

    Personnel: Alessandro Sgobbio (piano, Fender Rhodes, electronics), Emiliano Vernizzi ( tenor saxophone, electronics), Nick Wight (drums)
