Born as a trio in Rome in the fall of 2011, Luz began as a collaboration between Giacomo Ancillotto (guitar), Igor Legari (bass) and Federico Leo (drums). The trio has regularly performed throughout Italy at festivals and venues such as Jazz al Popolo 2012, noLebol Music Fest, Peperoncino Jazz Festival 2012, Rumori nell’Isola, La Strada in Jazz In December 2012 cellist Tomeka Reid, one of the most distinctive voices of today’s avantgarde scene in Chicago, joins the band. The mixture of cello, guitar, bass and drums creates a sound of great intensity and unpredictable direction, resulting in a hybrid and powerful music, indefinable and elusive as the soundtrack of an imaginary movie or the traditional music of an unknown land.
LUZ appeared in: Jazz al Popolo 2012 NOLEBOL Music Fest 2 Peperoncino Jazz Festival 2012 and 2013 Rumori nell’Isola 2012 La Strada in Jazz Jazzflirt 2013.
