Spellbound is the new album by Attilio Sepe, born from a project that emerged through the meeting of diverse musical cultures. The group came together during Attilio Sepe’s time in Belgium and is marked by its international lineup: Italian pianist Marco Marcelletti, Belgian double bassist Emanuel Van Mieghem, and Brazilian drummer Gabriel Moraes. This cultural richness results in a highly versatile sound that spans from traditional jazz to original compositions, with a strong emphasis on improvisation and creative exploration.
The quartet's repertoire features a blend of jazz standards and original pieces that showcase each member’s artistic vision. They have already performed in leading jazz venues across Belgium and Italy, receiving praise for their musical quality. Additionally, the group had the honor of collaborating with Maurizio Giammarco, one of the most renowned saxophonists in both the Italian and international jazz scenes.
Released on February 7, 2025, by WoW Records, Spellbound is the outcome of intense studio sessions and an Italian tour that preceded its launch. During the tour, the band presented live versions of the album’s tracks, revealing the remarkable synergy between the musicians and their powerful musical dialogue.
This album stands out for its emotional depth and expressive freedom, striking a balance between tradition and innovation. Attilio Sepe and his quartet offer a musical experience grounded in constant sonic exploration and a deep openness to improvisation, giving the album its distinct character and compelling appeal.
Spellbound is more than just a record; it is a testament to music’s power to transcend cultural barriers and unite diverse traditions in a shared language. Through this work, the quartet aspires to deliver a refined and emotionally engaging musical experience for listeners.
