Marcello Giuliani - Bassist for Erik Truffaz

[Castagnier]

Live with the new drummer Arthur NHATEK playing some new material from the forthcoming Lp Doni Doni : Cello played a Moollon Jazz with a maple neck

 

[bass12]

I thought Marcello's name sounded familiar. He used to play in a Swiss hip-hop group called Silent Majority. Sounded good then and sounds even better now!

 

[Castagnier]

You're right Bass12 : he played in S. Majority with Nya (and also with Erik ), who then joined the 4tet for The Dawn & Bending New Corners & Arkhangelsk.

Different drummer? What happened to erbata?

 

[Castagnier]

They're still really close friends but Marc wanted to have a break so Arthur was invited on board to start this new chapter of the 4tet's history...
