Muvolution

As suggested by the band name Oltremare (translated: oversea), we play on the differences of our two musical worlds divided by the sea: one is rooted in the melodic and poetic approach of Italian masters like Nino Rota, an inspiring composer who experimented a large variety of genres: from contemporary music to sound tracks for famous film directors such as Federico Fellini and Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather); the other in the harmonic and rhythmic intuitions of British artists such as Kenny Wheeler and John Taylor.

This idea of building a bridge between two sides of the sea is reflected in the choice of putting aside the refined and understated british drummer Jon Scott and a pianist and composer so deeply Italian as Antonio Zambrini, the unpredictability of Michael Chillingworth's lines and the lyricism of bassist Andrea Di Biase.
