Hieronymus by Pippi Dimonte 5et

Il Pippi Dimonte 5et è il nuovo project-ensemble del contrabbassista Pippi Dimonte, classe '91.

Hieronymus è il manifesto del progetto, e racchiude in sè sonorità latin, funk e jazz capaci di sconfinare nell’ambient passando dal modern jazz.

L'album è composto da un ampio repertorio di soli brani originali, interamente scritti e arrangiati dal musicista stesso.

Hieronymus resta un viaggio musicale in cui si alternano dinamiche morbide e al contempo esasperate.

“Introducing “Hieronymus”, second album by young double bass player Pippi Dimonte, released february
4th, 2016, on Fonofabrique. As in each canvas of the late great sixteenth-century visionary artist, vanguard
meets tradition. 8 tracks in which different sounds and styles are displayed, ranging from jazz to funk,
contaminations coming from Latin and even 'classical' music: genres that fit together well, managing to give
the whole album a sense of stylistic cohesion. Throughout the listening, different scenarios transpire: from
scenes of everyday life in the Berlin district, to the nightlife in Marseille, up to migrating to exotic faraway
places.”

Giuseppe 'Pippi' Dimonte started studying and playing double bass and electric bass at the age of 13. Driven
by a strong passion for Classical music, since the very beginning he got the chance to play double bass in various orchestras. Growing up, he developed a particular interest in jazz music. After collaborations in various albums as a sideman, in june 2014 he debuted with “Morning Sessions”.
