The Felice Clemente Quartet Releases Nuvole Di Carta

Eighth Release from Critically Acclaimed Contemporary Jazz Quartet Available March 20th on Crocevia di Suoni Records

Los Angeles, CA (Vocus/PRWE March 21, 2011

“Nuvole di Carta” marks the eighth release from Italy’s critically
acclaimed Felice Clemente Quartet. Available March 20th on Crocevia di
Suoni Records. Nuvole di Carta (which translates to “Paper Clouds”) is
impeccable, contemporary Jazz recording featuring superb musicianship
and intelligent improvisation reminiscent of such masterful players as
Joe Lovano, John Coltrane and Branford Marsalis.

Recorded and mixed at ArteSuono Recording Studios – Cavalicco (UD)
Italy, Nuvole di Carta features such tracks as “The Courage to Try,”
“Paradossi” and “Inside Changes.” The entire album highlights the
Felice Clemente Quartet’s exploration of beautiful melodies, great
interplay and approachable themes — while masterfully utilizing odd
time signatures to create approachable musical motifs.

“Nuvole di Carta is my heartfelt tribute to young friend — a beloved
friend who left us at a very young age,” says Clemente. The title,
‘Nuvole di Carta’ alludes to the fusion between dreams (the clouds) and
their realization (paper). Through my musical notes transcribed on
paper, I wanted to give a shape to my friend’s dreams.”

Based in Milan, the Felice Clemente Quartet was formed in 1998 by
award-winning saxophonist/clarinet-player and composer Felice Clemente.
Performing live across Europe, the Felice Clemente Quartet has played at
such high-profile venues as the Blue Note, Milan and Rome’s La Palma
Club. In addition, the Felice Clemente Quartet has appeared at some of
Europe’s most prestigious Jazz festivals including: Terni in Jazz Fest,
Classicum Jazz in Rome, Ronciglione Jazz Festival in Viterbo,
