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.

Our new teaser of the docufilm Pericopes+1 “Tour Diary”, is now exclusively online on Italian newspaper La Repubblica. Enjoy!
It’s been an intense week of recording at Artesuono studios, but we are finished!! Be on the look out for the new album in 2017!
Thank you Chris Baber and Jazzviews for your nice review of our album These Human Beings!
Wight provides a solid ticking pulse to the pieces, with cymbals picking up and emphasizing the phrases that Vernizzi plays. The mix of drums and the low notes of Sgobbio’s playing maintain an insistent and steady beat through each of the pieces. The unity of the trio, even when the rhythm becomes most disrupted, is crisp and clean.

Last concert of the tour! It was a pleasure to play for such an attentive audience at antiruggine in Castelfranco Veneto! A big thanks to Arianna & Mario Brunello for the invitation!
