Born 23 April 1973, Lyon, Rhône-Alpes, France. Nicola Sabato is a double bass player capable of developing with harmony and coherence his own path and proposal, which are well rooted in the history of jazz and of his own instrument, without neglecting “modernity” and appeal. As high-value sideman with a great personality, Nicola Sabato has refined his own skill thanks to a legend of double bass as Pierre Boussaguet, whom here in Italy we have maybe somewhat overlooked, and he met along his way two real giant artists like Ray Brown and John Clayton, surely some of the most decisive encounters for Nicola’s musical career.

There are three albums that came out under his name, one of which ‘Lined with a groove’ can count on the extraordinary support of Jeff Hamilton on drums; while ‘Cruisin’ with the Nicola Sabato Quartet’ is a cool work based on a very personal retrieval of an elegant jazz which is certainly not lacking in any flashes. Nicola Sabato is undoubtedly a musician to monitor with a great attention and interest in relation to his own clever and sensible approach to a kind of music, jazz, that is able to look forward in the best way when it doesn’t forget its basic principles, structural debts and the beauty of what has been left to build on itself and beside. We have told with Nicola Sabato so as to know more datails about his music, his own personal path as well as his undeniable Italian origin.

Nicola Sabato - California Hang

(7:14) 10. Everything Happens To Me

With the creative passion that characterizes him, Nicola Sabato has transformed the California sun into a pure groove extract. The ingredients are simple: just go on site to dialogue with the most highly rated musicians of the jazz world and its surroundings (they have played with Diana Krall, Roy Hargrove, Nancy Wilson, John Pizzarelli, Kurt Elling, Barbra Streisand , Gladys Knight…). An inspired guitarist, a virtuoso pianist and a boosted drummer, each at the height of his personal expression this could only give a jazz cocktail of rare intensity!

Such a meeting of high-flying musicians, united by an uncompromising musical project, reminds us of what an artistic enterprise based on passion and culture is. Evocation of Wes Montgomery and Art Blakey, shuffles, samba, blues… the musical vitality of this album is worth the detour! A jazz that speaks to everyone, with the intensity of sincere projects.Translate By Google
