"At the request of W.E.R.F. Records Giovanni created an entirely new repertoire teaming up with saxophonist Alexandra Grimal and drummer Eric Thielemans. Brussels based pianist Giovanni Di Domenico was born in Rome in 1977. Majoring in 'jazz piano' at music school - he further built on an encyclopaedic technique; rhythm harmony and tone are informed by non-western traditions yet equally sensitive to Debussy's ""Préludes"" Luciano Berio's ""Sequenzas"" to the 'ambi-ideation' heard in Borah Bergman's Soul Note recordings Cecil Taylor's polissemic density Paul Bley's bruised transparency and of course the most radical manifestations stemming from the underworld of pop music invariably tied together by his own original praxis. A distinction - one would call it generational - he shares with many of the musicians he has crossed paths with recently of which we could enumerate Nate Wooley Chris Corsano ArveHenriksen Jim O'Rourke Alexandra Grimal Tetuzi Akiyama João Lobo or Toshimaru Nakamura."
