  • Description

    Meridian 71 is a cross-cultural music project created and led by Giuseppe since 2012. The project name comes from Boston's longitude: the 71st meridian that passes precisely through the eastern part of the city. Their third album features original compositions by Giuseppe who performs with an eclectic and multicultural ensemble of well-established Boston-based musicians.


    "Boston is the location where I met musicians from different parts of the globe. We are deeply connected and spoke the common language of music together", reflects Paradiso. "It felt like I had known for a long time that at some point in my life I would have met musicians just like them, way before moving across the Atlantic in 2008. Meridian 71 became the creative laboratory and space to develop this music."

    Meridian 71 is more than a conceptual band.it's a dynamic and ever-changing musical project with a revolving lineup and a driving vision to use music and sound to inspire, bridge cultures and create links within different traditions.

    Blending music genres that range from jazz and improvised music to Mediterranean and West African styles, the Parallel Dimensions album features Giuseppe on drums, percussion, electronics & vocals; Mark Zaleski on alto & soprano sax/clarinet; Utar Artun on piano & keys; Phil Sargent on electric guitar; James Hazlewood-Dale on upright, electric and fretless bass; Malick Ngom on West African sabar drums, percussion and vocals.
