SPEAK RANDOM
OMIT FIVE: Mattia Dalla Pozza alto sax; Filippo Vignato trombone; Joseph Circelli guitar; Rosa Brunello double bass; Simone Sferruzza drums.
‘Omit Five' is a young Italian contemporary jazz quintet. "The 13 pieces set-list of the new album is entirely based on wide-ranging original tunes, compositions where the group tries to combine detailed composition and free improvisation, linking the post-bop tradition with a contemporary sound that tries to serve as a mirror of our age."
Omit Five's music therefore presents itself as a colourful kaleidoscope of timbres, melodies, harmonies and free improvisations, selected every time on the basis of each composer's taste and sensitivity, but always referable to one original sound, underlining the deep work they did together as a band while constantly touring around Europe.
"Speak Random" is the quintet's second CD following the eponymous "Omit Five" released 2012 on the Venetian label ‘Caligola Records'.

Omit Five – SPEAK RANDOM:What a great title for this improv/contemporary set… jazzers who want the high energy of improvised, yet want some recognizable "form" will totally dig this, especially tunes like "Anni Luce". For listeners who want the "cool" to also be a part of the experience, I’ve no doubt that pieces like "I Wanna Feel Nasty" will fill the bill (some excellent bass & guitar on this one, too). My personal favorite of the thirteen performances was "Family", which swirls with the same emotions you experience with that unit. This great Italian quintet gets a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from these ol’ ears, with an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.97. Get more information atthe SLAM label page for this CD.

Consisting of Mattia Dalla Pozza/as, Filippo Vignato/tb, Joseph Circelli/g, Rosa Brunello/b and Simone Sferruzza/dr, the Omit Five has a heart in the post bop tradition, with gleanings from the freer side of the street. Boppish pieces such as "Pomeriggi Ameni" display clean lines from the horns as well as linear guitar musings, while the two horns unify for some harmonious moments on a chanting "I Wanna Feel Nasty" and gently striding "Family." Brunello gets spotlighted in some solos and duets on "Berlin June Walk" and " Uyusukluk" while the whole team gets down and funky on "Anni Luce." Vignato's trombone gracefully glides throughout, especially on the flowing "Pina Baush" making the whole a greater piece than the separate parts. Fresh and fragrant. George W Harris.

TRANSLATION Inside the Conservatory of Rovigo was formed this quintet of musicians, Omit Five, from various Italian regions and quickly found their own path . They do a full post-bop modern elements or extraneous to the jazz in the strict sense , it has found a point of sedimentation in the first album recorded for Caligula Records and now a further development and step forward with this new production for English Slam Productions. Great disc , let us say at once , full of striking rhythmic cues , in full agreement with what is happening in world of contemporary jazz , and great compositions that emphasize the original appearance of the band, now with its own character . The numerous concerts in Italy and abroad , have been the breeding ground that has forgere contributed to their music, a kaleidoscope of colors and stamps which all the musicians Matt Dalla Pozza on alto sax ,Philip Vignato on trombone , guitar Joseph Circelli electtrica ,Rosa Brunello Sferruzza on bass and Simon on drums. The use of trombone, used with mutes and mindful of the great Roswell Rudd , along with the alto saxophone and the guitar makes it original , sparkling, has that something special that makes this group a reality of national absolute level , keeping up with what's happening elsewhere, despite each of the five contributing with their own compositions to the whole. yet works , one might say , with a nice mix of modern and sounds ranging towards the main road . The solos are followed regularly and conviction , all good , part of an organism that breathes in unison. There is also a short piece for solo double bass of Rosa Brunello, Uyusukluk , dreamy ballad of the Three Views of a Dream but also the crackling Light Years Fussmatten or , perhaps one of the best moments of the album. The five are inspired by the music of modern authors , Dave Holland and Dave Douglas , for example , Greg Osby or Tim Berne , but have been able to make progress and acquired personality so you can put them among the most interesting Italian groups .
ORIGINAL All´interno del conservatorio di Rovigo si è formato questo quintetto di musicisti, Omit Five, proveniente da varie regioni italiane e che ha trovato subito una propria via. Fanno un post bop ricco di elementi moderni o estranei al jazz inteso in senso stretto, che ha trovato prima un punto di sedimentazione nel primo disco inciso per la Caligola Records e ora un ulteriore sviluppo e passo in avanti con questa nuova produzione per l´inglese Slam Productions. Gran disco, diciamolo subito, ricco di suggestivi spunti ritmici, in pieno accordo con quello che succede nel mondo del jazz contemporaneo, e di ottime composizioni che sottolineano l´aspetto originale della band, ormai con una propria fisionomia. I numerosi concerti, in Italia ed all´estero, sono stati la fucina che ha contribuito a forgere la loro musica, un caleidoscopio di colori e timbri cui partecipano tutti i musicisti Mattia Dalla Pozza al sax alto, Filippo Vignato al trombone, Joseph Circelli alla chitarra electtrica, Rosa Brunello al contrabbasso e Simone Sferruzza alla batteria. L´uso di trombone, usato con sordine e memore del grande Roswell Rudd, insieme al sax alto ed alla chitarra rende il tutto originale, frizzante, ha quel qualcosa di speciale che fa di questo gruppo una realtà nazionale di assoluto livello, al passo con quello che succede altrove, nonostante ognuno dei cinque contribuisca con composizioni proprie al tutto. Eppur funziona, verrebbe da dire, con una bel mix di moderno e suoni che vanno verso la strada maestra. Gli assoli si susseguono con regolarità e convinzione, tutti bravi, parte di un organismo che respira all´unisono. C´è anche un breve brano solitario per il contrabbasso di Rosa Brunello, Uyusukluk, la ballad sognante di Three Views of a Dream ma anche gli scoppiettanti Anni Luce o Fussmatten, forse uno dei momenti migliori dell´album. I cinque si ispirano alle musiche di autori moderni, Dave Holland o Dave Douglas ad esempio, Greg Osby o Tim Berne, ma hanno saputo fare progressi ed acquisito personalità così da poterli mettere fra i gruppi italiani più interessanti.

OMIT FIVE/ Speak Random (Slam Productions)
Groupe de jazz italien, un quintette sax alto-trombone-guitare-contrebasse-batterie. Tous les membres contribuent au répertoire du groupe, ce qui, selon mon expérience, donne toujours de meilleurs résultats.Speak Randomest un disque généreux qui transite bien entre des racines be-bop solidement ancrées et des explorations plus atonales, voire non idiomatiques. Quelques longueurs, quelques moments forts (dont "Pina Baush"), une belle aisance et de la joie de vivre.
An Italian jazz band, quintet line-up: alto sax, trombone, guitar, doublebass, drum kit. All membres contribute to the band's repertoire, which, in my experience, always gives better results.Speak Randomis a generous offering that moves skillfully between its firmly anchored be-bop roots and more atonal, even non-idiomatic journeys. Some overlong passages, some highlights (including "Pina Baush"), fine ease of play and noticeable joie de vivre.
