A driving force behind countless jazz formations, Tommy Bradascio brings together an “all-star” quartet filled with energy, interplay, and musical depth. The lineup features Cuban trumpeter Gendrickson Mena on the front line, Alberto Bonacasa on piano, and Tito Mangialajo Rantzer on double bass.
This high-level quartet delivers a dynamic blend of carefully selected jazz standards and original compositions written by Bradascio and Bonacasa. The result is a refined, expressive sound with tight rhythmic cohesion and powerful improvisational dialogue.
