Led by alto saxophonist Filippo Valli, the Filippo Valli Quartet blends original compositions with fresh takes on jazz standards. Drawing on influences such as Joel Ross, Immanuel Wilkins and Joshua Redman, the group fuses blues, soul and funk to build a personal, emotionally resonant sound. With Alessandro Alarcon on drums, Yves-Yann Lavaly on piano and Emilio Giovanoli on double bass, the quartet balances energetic interplay and introspective passages to create vibrant, contemporary jazz presented within the Suisse Diagonales Jazz circuit.
