COLOURS – NEW CD IS OUT 

Cecilia Sanchietti NEW Swedish Quintet

“COLOURS. We could see a sort of new ECM album with the venue moving a little further south, staying in Europe. The atmosphere is slightly less meditative, less aseptic, but you retain that centrality of sound, of the thoughtful note, of the setting to accommodate a content so that it comes through more clearly” MUSIC TNT

“The new album COLOURS extends the musical path previously built and suggests a unique blend of Reserved and thoughtful Nordic jazz, close to the ECM school, with a more open and romantic, sensual sensibility of  Italian jazz”. SALT PEANUTS

“This is what jazz is all about anyway: music that reaches the deep crevices of the soul, music that uplifts and fortifies the spirit, brings light into darkness, turns despair in hope, heals our pain and reintroduces love on the most intimate level. This ladies and gentlemen is Cecilia Sanchietti” RONALD SAVAGE (Dean, Performance Division, BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC IN BOSTON) 

“Italian drummer Cecilia Sanchietti is an elegant musician and thoughtful composer.  … Sanchietti has proven herself a unique and versatile artist. Her compositions are engaging, her drumming gracefully nimble and her rapport with her band fluid”. ALL ABOUT JAZZ

“Cecilia Sanchietti Swedish Quintet proves that the sun can shine in Gamla Stan even on the most freezing day of the year” SALT PEANUTS 

“There are an increasing number of women playing drums and Italy’s Cecilia Sanchietti is among the best, also composing music and leading her band …The music is crisp and engaging, modern jazz led from Sanchietti’ s chair”. O’S PLACE JAZZ MAGAZINE
