Press Release

Francesco Bordignon (Bassano del Grappa, 1999) is one of the most sought-after and gifted Italian double bass players of the last generation. This very interesting trio has been formed in 2024, completed by the most experienced and highly regarded Alessandro Lanzoni, piano, born in 1992, and Bernardo Guerra, drums, born in 1988, both from Florence. Lanzoni, already winner of the 2013 Musica Jazz referendum as best new talent, who currently leads a trio completed by Gabriele Evangelista and Jeff Ballard, is a musician who certainly needs no introduction. The same can be said of Bernardo Guerra, who, in addition to having participated in the interesting projects of Cristiano Arcelli, Camilla Battaglia, and Barbara Casini, found even greater fame by collaborating on several occasions with Stefano Bollani. “Osmosis”, Bordignon's first album as a leader, is just the first stage of a now three-year collaboration and  is dedicated to all the people who, over the years, have contributed to his personal and musical growth, leaving their mark on the journey that has made him who he is today. The title, «Osmosis», evokes connections, places, friendships and experiences and to the leader, the word represents the mutual enrichment that comes from being together, sharing experiences and developing as individuals. The album contains ten tracks, six of which are Bordignon's original compositions.
