The musicians receive regular praise for their exciting and original blend of Mediterranean jazz, infused with the creativity and passion of gypsy influence. The quartet regularly tour Europe, the US and Asia wowing cultured audiences with their unique and exciting music. Luca Ciarla is a violin virtuoso described by a leading German commentator as a ‘jazz architect’ and described by the Sydney Morning Herald as producing ‘glorious sound’. He is recognised in the musical world as one of the most innovative violinists on the scene today. {timg title:=”World Class Jazz Comes to Pattaya” thumb:=”images/stories/news/blog/poster_small.jpg” img:=”images/stories/news/blog/poster1.jpg” gal:=”gallery-content”} Vince Abbracciante is from an Italian family of renowned accordion players who has been long established on the Italian jazz scene playing with some of the biggest names in the industry. Nicola Di Camillo plays bass and double bass and has toured the world with his music. He is currently also collaborating on a CD projects with another quartet, Cuarteto del Angel. The final member of the foursome is the versatile and innovative percussionist Francesco Savoretti, renowned for his musical work in film and theatre, as well as being a regular at international music festivals. To have enticed such a talented ensemble to play in Pattaya is a real coup for Silverlake, which has attracted a reputation as setting the standard for cultured events in Pattaya over the past couple of years. The vineyard was the inspiration of a former Thai actress and singer who wanted to replicate the atmosphere she discovered in wineries in the United States; not just grow grapes, but also foster a vibrant social scene. |
