"Hard grooves, wild improvisations and heartfelt compositions: a night you won’t forget!” 

Highly energetic, intense, and improvisation-heavy, UPWARD relies on layered structures. It’s a sort of fusion music favouring a raw yet evocative sound that reminds of Metheny, Zawinul, Mehldau, Scofield, as well as of pop-rock, Bowie, Prince, Radiohead, and D’Angelo. The compositions draws heavily from daily life, including all political and social matters that shape its quality. Each tune sends a clear message and aims at involving the listener in an emotional journey. I believe you can sense moments of rebellion, melancholy, positivity, or just an easy grooving-along feeling. Alongside Francesco are some of the best musicians of the European landscape: not only great sidemen, but bandleaders in their own right , each bringing their unique personality to the music.
