Giovanni Paolo Liguori, Manrico Seghi & Simone Basile - Watch What Happens (2024) [Hi-Res]

“Watch What Happens” represents a new chapter for Simone Basile, Manrico Seghi, and Giovanni Paolo Liguori.

Following their debut album titled “Wes or No” (2018), where their reference point “Wes Montgomery” guided them through tracks and sounds, with this new album “Watch What Happens,” they form a cohesive and mature trio that immerses itself in the deep roots of jazz and blues, exploring its nuances and deepest emotions.

In this new work, the choice of songs is not random but well thought out. Wes is always the common thread among these 8 tracks of the album. His unique style, characterized by a soft touch, incredible technique, and a deep connection with the blues, has influenced generations of musicians and continues to inspire today more than ever.

In the vast panorama of jazz music, few names shine with such intense and lasting light as Wes Montgomery.

Within the album, groove, rhythm & changes, and blues alternate with ballads, shaping a tracklist that never bores and keeps the listener always engaged. Each track of this album is a story in itself, an open window to a world of emotions and sounds.

May “Watch What Happens” be an invitation to look beyond appearances, to explore the depths of music, and to let oneself be carried away by the unstoppable flow of creativity.

Wes Montgomery looked to the future with audacity and innovation, and we seek to honor his spirit by branching out from Wes’s legacy and continuing along our own path, thus creating an original, well-arranged album, but always with our feet firmly planted in jazz tradition.
