SUMMARY:pro series: Carlo Muscat\, saxophone
DESCRIPTION:The evening’s program\, composed by Carlo Muscat: \nTotoro; Cleopatra; Holler; The Body Is Only Light; Lisovyk; Arrietty; Everyone Looks Happy; Lyra’s Sonnet \n  \nRecognised as one of the most promising voices on the European jazz scene\, Carlo Muscat’s reputation as a saxophonist\, composer\, and bandleader has flourished through collaborations with numerous outstanding European musicians including Tony Tixier\, Philippe Maniez\, Mátyás Szandai\, Mauro Gargano and Sandro Zerafa. His sixth album\, Hymns\, received critical acclaim\, with a four-star rating from Downbeat Magazine and a spot on their list of Best Albums of 2023. This acknowledgement signaled his development as an artist and his emerging role in contemporary jazz. An inventive improviser overtly embracing freedom of interpretation and a willingness to explore new musical territories\, Muscat’s discography now includes seven albums as a leader and numerous contributions as a sideman. Beginning with his 2014 debut release\, The Sound Catalogues\, each album has probed a different aspect of his sound and experimented with compositional and stylistic approaches\, reflecting his dedication to an ongoing pursuit of his musical vision. Originally from Malta\, Carlo is currently based in Kyiv\, Ukraine\, and has been the co-owner and director of the music venue and bar Storeroom\, located in Ta’ Xbiex (Malta)\, since 2019. His 7th album\, The Body Is Only Light\, was recorded in Kyiv in March 2024\, and is set to be released on October 25th 2024 on the American label ears&eyes Records. \nalso featuring Brandon University Music faculty: \nDiogo Peixoto – guitar; Marika Galea – bass; Eric Platz – drums \n  \n \nStarting his guitar journey at a young age\, Diogo Peixoto quickly immersed himself in various musical environments\, becoming a sought-after sideman across different genres. His involvement with the ‘Coletivo Orquestral’ alongside renowned musicians like Hermeto Pascoal\, Brandford Marsalis\, Arrigo Barnabé\, and Vinícius Dorin\, not only showcased his talent but also provided invaluable experiences. Diogo is also a proficient songwriter and singer\, with his compositions receiving recognition in several Brazilian song festivals. Characterised by spontaneity and intensity\, his guitar playing reflects a unique blend of influences\, showcasing a melodic sense and composition style enriched by Brazilian rhythmic nuances.
