Project description and presentation

The title "A Tu per Tu" has several meanings:

The meeting of piano and sax.

Through a repertoire that oscillates between different songs, by nature and character, often played in the original versions by different ensembles, but which, through rearrangement, have been adapted for a perfect union of the duo, creating sounds that reach peaks of sonic fullness.

"A Tu per tu" is like the meeting with each composition and composer chosen for the repertoire. A love of jazz and the musicians who play it well is at the heart of this work, which

is intended as a tribute to those who seek and devote their energies to something 'beautiful' that everyone can and should enjoy.

Filippo Bianchini and Luca Mannutza seek a continuous dialogue, a musical interaction that develops expansive sounds, sometimes very strong and powerful, almost unthinkable for an ensemble like the duo.

Thanks to their technical and musical talent, they take the music to very high, intense levels, as if playing with a larger ensemble.

They also blend in softer, calmer moments, depending on the music's demands.

All this within a musical exploration that tells, in various ways, varied stories.

Rhythm, energy, and melody are the foundations of this musical exploration. The repertoire includes original pieces by both performers, but also by other great musicians such as Seamus Blake, Brad Mehldau, Enrico Pierrannunzi, Toots Thielemans and others.
