| Stefano Zeni | Album announcement Stefano Zeni announces debut solo album "Parallel Paths" coming May 6 2018 via Zanetti Records. Parallel Paths (Zanetti Records, Italy) is the first solo album by Stefano Zeni. A few years after the previous record Passaggi Circolari (YVP Music, Germany), the violinist returns with fifteen original crossover tracks where jazz, fusion, classical, avant-garde and world music converge: the melodies range between scratchy, persuasive soft and surreal. It is an autobiographical journey where the important thing is not where you arrive, but the path that you decide to undertake. Each song has its own characteristic and part of the magic is seeing where the journey takes you, with the album ending where it started. Stefano was able to secure two prestigious collaborations: the American vibraphonist Mike Mainieri, already founder of the band Steps Ahead (in Twilight) and the Italian vocal performer Boris Savoldelli (in Blue Crab). Stefano Zeni has a current and original sound, influenced by the style of violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, the guitars of Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell and groups such as Weather Report and Steps Ahead. The sound of the acoustic violin alternates with that of the 5-string electric / midi violin. The violin is also used as a guitar, bass, synth, percussion and flanked by vocalizations, whistles, kazoos, effects and loops. Enjoy your musical journey with this wondeful and versatile instrument.
