ITALIA IN JAZZ (ITALY)

legacy manifestly winks at contemporary jazz, impregnated of avantgarde undertones whose common intention — kind of a trademark for pericopes+1 — is to constantly search for innovation, courage and intellectual honesty.

STRATEGIE OBLIQUE (ITALY)

These 10 original tracks higlight the mutating sound of this group, presenting some evocative ballads but also frenetic rhytmical passages. If Vernizzi is taking care of the foreground parts, Sgobbio uses Fender-Rhodes’ electric soul in order to obtain further esthetic tensions.

Album Review: Legacy
“Pericopes+1: the future is already here.” — by Paolo Odello, Il Fatto Quotidiano (Italy)

Legacy testifies an acquired maturity. The trio takes control of the heritage of yesterday’s music, drawing the new contemporaneity.

A big Thank You to Alessandro Salvatore for his article appeared on Italian newspaper La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno!

Enjoyable the peculiarity of the trio, which gives an energetic and personal music.

Grateful for this new concert review by Enzo Boddi, appeared on Italian Magazine MusicaJazz. regarding our recent show for the Fano Jazz By The Sea Festival. Enjoy!

Pericopes is a cleverly unorthodox trio, carrying an aesthetic that is outside of strict jazz principles, inspired by post rock, indie rock and punk jazz elements, as documented by These Human Beings (Alfa Music). The rhythmic-harmonic system may vaguely suggest elements of the Bad Plus, EST or Tingvall Trio.
