Pietre (NL)

Pietre is an energetic, chordless quartet led by bassist Alessandro Fongaro. As if recovering from an emergency break, Pietre – Italian for stones – stutters, collapses, and pushes on. Stories of love and friendship are manifested through intensity and sensitivity. Their debut album, First time (a)live, captured the energy of their very first concert, celebrating the end of lockdown. Now, with their studio album Pietre, the band continues to carve its path in European jazz, shaping a sound that is raw, urgent, and deeply expressive.
