Jemma is a collective of
musicians from https://www.blogger.com/#" rel="nofollow - Velletri , a town near Rome, whose roots date back to
2017 when, on the initiative of Federico Buccini, they began to jam
together inspired by jazz, Mediterranean folk, funk and progressive
rock. After a good live activity, in 2023 they released an
interesting eponymous album on the independent Emme Record label with
a line up featuring Federico Buccini (keyboards, piano, guitar),
Sofia Ara (flute, sax, vocals), Agnese Antonelli (violin, vocals),
Ludovico Franco (trumpet, flugelhorn), Daniel Ventura (sax, flute -
from VEMM), Alessandro Recanati (electric guitar), Marco Bruno
(bass), Shanti Colucci (drums - from Ingranaggi della Valle and
VEMM), Guglielmo Molino (bass), Davide Fabrizio (drums) and Rosario
Ceraudo (percussion) plus the guest Gianluca Petrella (trombone).
According to the band, it’s a concept album about the sea and the
culture of the sea where original compositions alternate with
traditional folk songs re-elaborated with a jazz rock modern taste in
the vein of bands such as Perigeo, Agorà, Snarky Puppy or Weather
Report: Jemma speaks of earth, sea, wind through intimate, tribal,
rock, groove and ethnic atmospheres seasoned with an overflowing
energy. It is a “crossover” work where jazz, world, rock, funk
blend naturally into an original and innovative sound, a mix of
identities, a crossroads of styles and souls. For the lyrics, the
band chose languages and dialects from the Mediterranean sea like
Italian, Portolotto, Salentine Grecanic or Ancient Greek but the
focus of this project is more on the music than on the lyrics...
