IDR is the result of the artistic exchange between Marco Cappelli and Jim Pugliese, whose mutual reverence for the villages’ ritual music brought them to the following statement: reflect the process of memory’s distortion of the second/third immigrantes generation, living in the New Yorker cultural melting pot with a strong traditional background, and give back to the audience a music at the same time far from the original source - for geographic, chronological and cultural reasons - and full of tradition’s elements: impossibile to fit in any conventional standard.
IDR feat: Marco Cappelli, guitars, Doug Wieselman, clarinets, Jose Davila, trombone and tuba, Ken Filiano, double bass, Jim Pugliese, drums, Special Guest: DJ Logic, turntables and many others TBA
"Salient semaphores and plangent pith in solos for piano, organ, sampling. Plus duos, trios, and quartets with his band By Night: Jim Pugliese, drums; Guy Klucevsek, accordion; and Doug Wieselman, reeds."
