about

The Italian progressive jazz quartet LEGS 4et began life in Bologna, 2015 as a project based on jazz but recognising relevant influences such as funk, hip hop and electronics. Recorded in 2017, 'Hot & Fresh' is a debut recording of surprising and fresh energy, which moulds together these influences wonderfully.

Stefano Maimone's inspiration in creating the group was born from his need to realise his stylistic research and to give voice to his musical vision, acknowledging the influences of his music mentors but never allowing them to prevail over his own style.

The pieces, written especially for this group, give room for expression to each member of the quartet, highlighting their musical characteristics and background.

Stefano Maimone: electric bass, effects
Luigi Rinaldi: alto and soprano saxophone, bass clarinet
Enrico Smiderle: drums, percussion
Gabriele Carbone: piano, synth, Hammond organ, vocoder

“The virtuosity of Mingus and Monk is frankly applauded with regard to Moanin’ and Epistrophy in tracks 1 and 2 and this alone shows how fresh older music can sound. The whole CD is fresh-sounding and the band have the courage to travel far.” - Ken Cheetham, Jazz Views

“Soulful fusion...The sax and keyboards create a thick cream on the funky read of Charles Mingus’ "Moanin’" during a medley, with a hip Headhunter synth pulsating with Rinaldi’s soprano sax on the title track. Maimone’s bass lays down a hip pulse for some rich alto work on a sleek "I Remember You" while the team gets into a space groove on a Weather Reportish "Morning in Ronc." Some eerie chords float on "Sunrise in Ronc" and the rhythm team gets kinetic as the band bops on a rich take of Thelonious Monk’s "Epistrophy".” - George Harris, Jazz Weekly
