This new project of the super band represents an exploration into the world of jazz, particularly in its psychedelic, jazz-funk and rare groove variants, even though the members of the band are not professional jazz musicians.

The EP is inspired by artists such as Bob James, Lalo Schifrin, Miles Davis and Idris Muhammad.

The first single from the EP is a reinterpretation of the famous theme “Monday Cinema“, originally composed by Lucio Dalla for RAI in the 80s and features singer Marco Castello. The song is available on all music platforms and will also be released in a limited edition on transparent 7” vinyl on November 15th.

Calibro 35 will present their new work live on October 21st at the Dal Verme Theatre in Milan as part of the review JAZZMIconfirming their commitment to bringing jazz music to an ever wider audience. The band describes this foray into jazz as “a bank robbery, where they move quickly to discover and enhance musical treasures, highlighting their continuous search for innovation and experimentation”.

With a career spanning over fifteen years, Calibro 35 have fused funk, rock and 70s Italian soundtracks, creating a distinctive sound that evokes cinematic atmospheres.

They have received international recognition, with their songs sampled by famous artists such as Dr. Dre and Jay-Z, and have built a solid fan base around the world. The band, composed of Massimo Martellotta, Enrico Gabrielli and Fabio Rondanini, under the direction of producer Tommaso Colliva, has explored different forms of musical expression, including soundtracks (the recent work done on Ennio Morricone’s compositions is also precious), television productions and live shows, collaborating with high-caliber artists such as Muse and Thundercat.
