The Italian quartet Oprachina has moved the first steps during recent editions of “Along Came Jazz, Research In Italy” organised in Tivoli and Rome.

The group:

Massimo Bognetti: guitar, director of Music School Etnofonie in Rome, he conducted several workshops on music figures of Demetrio Stratos, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Thelonius Monk, Soft Machine;

with the “Opera Nomadi”  he directed: the “Education Project Artists Rom”

Errico De Fabritiis: saxophone,  teacher, graduated in saxophone at the Conservatory of Pescara D'Annunzio, lives in Rome, where he worked with musicians of different backgrounds. He committed within the contemporary and improvised music; recently he has directed the project “Bus Ned Revolution”

Fabio Fochesato: bass and double bass, teacher, working expecially in jazz and contemporary music. He’s a member of  “Plectrum Orchestra del Circolo Mandolinistico Costantino Bertucci” (plectrums with double bass string performing a large repertory of baroque and contemporary music) and the new “Banda Larga Big Band” direct by Elvio Ghigliordini (PMJO Auditorium Rome).

Adriano Galinari: drums; teacher, he has participated in numerous jazz events, with many italian and foreign musicians, among them, never forgot, the saxophonist Massimo Urbani.

In Oprachina’s original compositions jazz is the connecting element between the obligatory written parts and the improvised ones.

Years ago the band successfully tackled a monographic research on the compositions of Wayne Shorter.

"THE JAZZ FARM",  their first "virtual" album with some pieces written and others completely improvised, is here, on Jamendo.com.
