Fabrizio Graceffa - U-Turn (2016)

On 'U-Turn', Belgium/Italian guitarist Fabrizio Graceffa is reunited with is longtime quartet featuring drummer Teun Verbruggen, bass player Boris Schmidt and trumpet player Jean Paul Estiévenart. The quartet is extended with first class musicians Nicolas Kummert (saxophone) and the young French trombonist Edouard Wallyn. 'U-Turn' is the second album by Graceffa. As on his previous album 'Stories' the influence of his musical heroes like Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Bill Frisell but also Jimi Hendrix and B.B King is clearly present. It is eclectic roadtrip through American and European jazz, folk, country, rock and even some classical elements.
