Description
Currently the double bassist of choice for Kenny Wheeler in his new trio, the young Milan-born, London-based composer-bassist Andrea Di Biase makes his debut as leader on the influential indie jazz Babel Label. The band are Oltremare Quartet.The rich sources of Di Biase's influences are heard on Uncommon Nonsense. A musician who studied at the Milan Conservatory, Di Biase arrived in London for his post-graduate Guildhall studies, where he was mentored among others by pianist John Taylor. But the description above is also a reflection of a band that's split right down the middle in terms of nationality, the quartet of musicians coming from both Italian and British backgrounds
