Robert Castelli & Boom UK
This is funky, jazzy, swinging & contemporary jazz at its finest! Featuring Robert Castelli-drums, Francesco Lo Castro-guitar, Marco Marconi-piano and Neville Malcolm-bass, the quartet will play music from each of their latest releases, with some surprises thrown in. Originally from New York but now based in Spain, Robert is best known for his work with his international band the Boom Quintet.
"A muscular but intelligent brand of fusion and funk... after seeing this band live, I can honestly say, 'prepare to be spellbound!'" The JazzMann; "Lo Castro’s pin sharp melodies, scurrying along above a wash of guitar effects, evoke everything from the funkiest, jazziest riffs to the shifting sands of North Africa." Adrian Pallant; "[Marconi]…a performer whose creative ability takes your breath away in the first 30 seconds" JazzBitesRadio.com; "you feel carried away into the world of Afro-Cuban music, West African rhythms, jazz rock of the 70s and 80s with rhythm par excellence" Jazz Halo
