Relate

RELATE feat. Bill Frisell

‘Relate’ is the second album of the Italian trumpet player Tiziano Bianchi. The album was produced by the Japanese/American trumpet legend Tiger Okoshi and features the Grammy Award winner Bill Frisell on guitar.
Recorded between Italy and USA, ‘Relate’ presents seven original compositions by Tiziano Bianchi and one arrangement of the Lali Puna’s song ‘Nin-com-pop’.
The band has two cellos instead of the upright bass. The use of electronic elements, like synths and electronic drums, make the sound contemporary and more powerful of a regular jazz combo.
The lyrics of the title track explain the positive message behind the album.

“Relating is important while you are playing with someone else, because music needs strong interaction and common goals. It’s important to relate while dealing with other people and it would help to avoid many contrasts. It is important to relate with the other elements of the world outside ourselves, to look for inputs and to enjoy what life offers to you” Tiziano Bianchi

“It seems that Tiziano and I have created such unique yet solid relationship as artist. Both careful and sincere crafts man who truly love to spend hours on creating music. Compare to his last CD “Now and Then”, it’s so clear that this CD has stronger message but more tangible, has more power, dynamics and complexity but tastier beside his trumpet playing has improved so much. Tiziano is growing in his music while his music is growing in him. This is it!
Let’s congratulate his fantastic accomplishment together!” Tiger Okoshi
