The pianist Carlo Uboldi is a veteran of Italian jazz who, with perseverance and dedication, makes us listen to music with roots in tradition, rich in swing, which we listen to with pleasure. For this new recording he introduces us a special guest together with his trio, the Turin tenor saxophonist Emanuele Cisi , to complete the group are Valerio Della Fonte on double bass and Massimo Manzi, drummer known on countless recordings of Italian jazz. Aside from Bronislaw Kaper's Invitation and Bill Evans' The Opener , there are all compositions by the leader and double bass player, along with Lady K.di Cisi, dedicated to his colleague Richie Kamuca.

The quartet works perfectly on a common language, it is a timeless mainstream where the musicians give their best with measured solos, very compact during the performances. Some compositions of the leader, such as Panegra which closes the album, are very listenable, Looking Beyond which gives the title to the album, has something fascinating, faced by the leader with a lot of swing and by Cisi with a fluid and bewitching sound on the saxophone. An album that is happy to listen to in the background, but on which you can focus on carefully because it is full of important moments. Translate By Google http://www.musiczoom.it/?p=30639

Born in Como in the 1996 (but of italy-swiss nazionality), Carlo Uboldi begin studying music at 6 years, thanks to a keen-family on music. In 1983 and 1984 he partecipates to the different festivals of the jazz in Como. Infact he points out his swing-phrasing and since then he starts his professional carreer,playing with different and various swing and be-bop groups in Italy and abroad. At the same time he teaches in the different schools in Milan and Como (Italy). In the meantime he continue studying with the teacher "Ettore Righello. In 1992 he works with the Fritz Hartschuh's quintet (together with the Paolo Tomelleri) in Germany, with whom he takes part in the Cruise "Jazz at the Sea" with the name-groupe "swinging Italy", during which Carlo Uboldi has the opportunity to play with the best American-musicians. In swiss he knows some of the best and important local-musicians (Oliviero Giovannoni and Danilo Moccia), with whom he plays again in various formation now. For 1996 (till to-day) he has been taking part in the Gianni Coscia's quartet "A Kramer piaceva cosi"(together with the musicians such as Luciano Milanese e Ellade Bandini) and for 2000 he has been working with the quintet of the actress-singer Elisabetta De Palo (with the project "omaggio a Natalino Otto" who, together also with the musician Marco Ratti. They have recorded CD and till to-day plays in different theatres and festivals in Italy.

Today he works such as "free lance" in various and different jazz-groups and he is the leader, with Marco Castiglioni, of the sextet "DUDECOM " (with musicians such as Emilio Soana, Francesco Licitra, Stefano Dall'Ora, Marco Bianchi), with whom he performs his own swing/be-pop compositions. However, the Trio (together with the musician such as Dall'Ora (bass), e Castiglioni-(drums) is the best and test formation of Uboldi. This Trio is full of swing and they own (among the three of them) an ritmic – harmonic agreement that only little groups can boast of this characteristic. For an year he has been working with Luca Calabrese with whom interacts in a "duo" that presents standard and original-pieces. In his career he has worked also with Rudy Migliardi, Bruno de Filippi, Hengel Gualdi, Glauco Masetti, Stefano Bagnoli, and played also at the "New Orleans festival of Ascona (ch); jazz-festival of Sori in Italy; Conservatorium G.Verdi of Milan; B.Goodman story of Bergamo (Italy); "quelli che il jazz" of Milan; jazz club of Lucerna (ch), Rheinfelden(ch),Emmenbrucke(ch),Bulach(ch);conservatorium of Zagabria (J); jazzhaus of Freiburg(D); jazztone of Lorrach(ch);cafe cult, jazz keller e Alte Oper di Francoforte/Frankfurt (D); Rive jazzy IF Nyon (ch); rathaussaal of Karlstadt (D). Today Carlo Uboldi is esteemed as one of the best pianist o and he is also the nearest at the "Peterson-style". Contrarily to the other imitator-instrumentalists, he succeeds to propose himself with a particolar fantasy and volcanic-sensibility with traditional-passages and sometime with a refined phrasing with points of the vanguard. http://www.jazzitalia.net/public/blogs/24/carlouboldi_eng.asp#.V6ZLNzXQua4
