Sound of Beauty stems from the need to express emotions and concepts that Filippo Bianchini
has developed over the last few years. The charm of life, its mysterious aspects, love, pains and
joys. In this album Filippo Bianchini gives a musical portrait of a series of emotions using a
personal language that is well rooted in the Jazz tradition. Swing, energy, improvisation. All
compositions are original except for one, which is a tribute to one of the greatest musicians of
all time: Duke Ellington. Supported by great musicians like Nicola Andrioli on piano, Igor
Spallati on double bass, Armando Luongo on drums and Jean Paul Estievenart on the trumpet.
Filippo Bianchini was born in Orvieto, Italy, but since 2007 he lived and he lives in many part
of Europe (Rome, The Hague, Amsterdam, Brussels). In September 2015 he released his first
album as leader ''Disorder at the Border'' with great musicians such as Nicola Andrioli on
piano, Armando Luongo on drums and Jean-Louis Rassinfosse on bass (and as Special Guest,
John Ruocco on tenor sax and clarinet and Rodolfo Neves on trumpet). In September 2017 he
came out with his second album as leader of his 4tet ''Le Voyage'', homage to the music of
Salvatore Adamo, arranged by Lorenzo Agnifili, with
special Guest Jean Paul Estievenart on trumpet. He won
numerous awards including the European Jimmy Woode

''Filippo Bianchini's new recording is rich with hard swinging, fresh and intriguing
compositions and is characterised by Bianchini's lion hearted tenor sound.
