The project boasts the collaboration of two of the greatest jazz musicians at an international level: Francesca Tandoi on the piano and Luca Bulgarelli on the double bass. Considered by the public and critics among the best Italian drummers, Ariano, thanks to his musical versatility, has at his side with international jazz players, including George Coleman, Johnny Griffin and Benny Golson and Italian pop artists such as the pianist and songwriter Sergio Cammariere, with with whom Lucio Dalla and Renzo Arbore have been collaborating for 18 years. The record, produced by Promu - All For Music, is part of the "Unplugged" project, a collection of "Live Albums", which the guys from Promu recorded during the "Gianicolo In Jazz" festival in Rome in the summer 2019 and which they subsequently re-proposed on YouTube during the rigid lockdown of last March, to relive the experience of the live concert to the public at home, in the most realistic way possible.

In fact, the characteristic of this project consists in having treated the audio, particularly enhancing the spatialization of the sound: if the listener wears headphones, he will realize that each musical instrument has a precise sound space, therefore, if during the concert the battery has been placed to the right of the stage, you will hear more in the right earphone. The "Triplets Live" record, as well as all the concerts in the "Unplugged" collection, are "audio photographs", which have the aim of ideally bringing the audience back to that precise moment of the live concert.
