Fulvio Buccafusco – double bass, composition Stan Sulzmann – tenor sax Nikki Iles – piano Ettore Fioravanti – drums 'A Short Story' was born during a period of three years I spent in the multicultural city of London, looking at different cultures, places, sounds and people as if it were a deep and huge emotional archive. I have always liked sharing my music with artists who want to talk about themselves through what they play, engendering an interesting creative harmony with the other members of the band. That’s how was born the idea of involving Stan Sulzmann and Nikki Iles, two musicians I have learned so much from. Their versatility and sensibility have permitted to create in the band the birth of a feeling that has easily started a new and interesting musical dialogue. In this successful fusion of different sensibilities a suitable creative space has been found by Ettore Fioravanti, the drummer, whose energetic and elegant drumming has wonderfully completed the band, contributing to generate a very personal overall sound. I decided to record everything in only one session, without any rehearsals, leaving total freedom to the musicians, because I love spontaneity and the risk that there might be mistakes or imperfections has never worried me. I believe that it is more important to live the emotion in the very moment in which we play together and I think that this is the easiest way to reach the heart of the listeners.
