Achille Succi – Gargano Urbano: Contemporary Jazz From Rural Singing To Hip-Hop (CD)

Italian alto saxophonist and bass clarinetist Achille Succi has spent decades bridging the European improvised music tradition with global influences, and Gargano Urbano finds him drawing on the folk roots of Italy's Gargano peninsula while weaving in hip-hop and contemporary jazz textures. The result is a genuine conversation between place and diaspora, grounded and restless at once.
