Pericopes +1 is a new addition to the project initiated by pianist Alessandro Sgobbio and saxophonist Emiliano Vernizzi. In 2012, they met American drummer Nick Wight and reunited to record These Human Beings (2015).
With liner notes written by Dave Liebman and Enrico Rava, a buzz quickly spread throughout the international jazz community. Musica Jazz described them as “a cleverly unorthodox trio” and All About Jazz calls them “an authentic surprise”.
After eight successful international tours — performing near 200 shows in over a dozen countries across the USA, China, UK and Europe — Pericopes+1 released UP on March 2020 and will tour Europe in the fall.
