Cluzon Big Band
As a bassist I cannot praise enough the great rhythm arrangements of Carlo Carrà, Massimo Lafronza and Alberto Parone.ï¾ Especially Mr. Parone, who plays with great power and delicacy, which I believe (along with many great arrangers) is the most important element of a big band, along with the first trumpet. The Big Band environment was my first involvement with jazz, and today I continue this musical approach with great pleasure. Cluzon Big Band is an orchestra that has courage to play on the road, in the mainstream path, which I firmly believe can best develop professional and artistic potential,ï¾ train new musicians, and bond both musicians and the listening public to the music. This work requires not only dedication, but a certain amount of audacity; especially today, with the current artistic and commercial landscape, where bombast prevails over experimentation, with seldom the most brilliant results.

Transylvanian Surf Music
This original music soundtrack, created for a prospective video about young USA/Euro musicians snowboarding in Romania, doesn't represent the fine music traditions of Transylvania. Yet the dark and gothic harmonies were inspired by travels inside the Hungarian culture of the Carpathians. Imagine our "Snowsurfers" getting lost on a moonlit night, discovering an old torchlit castle, complete with ancient Count, young Vampiras, entrancing music, dance and perilous romance. They escape, carving down the mountain, horse-drawn sleigh in pursuit. But the haunting faces and spirit of Transylvania linger as they venture on with the music they've found.
