“Songs from the past and the Holy Spirit” is the first album as a leader by Verona-based vibraphonist Paolo Peruzzi. The music on the album is original and is played by a group that pursues music with determination as the driving force behind everything else. The encounter with extraordinary souls has allowed the music to be forthright, spontaneous and simple, the natural meeting point of emotional intelligence and creative thinking.

“Paolo Peruzzi is a musician with a close attention to details. He searches through his music, finding colors in his improvisations to paint imagery evoking the piece, calling its true nature. That’s why variety is his winning weapon. His music is not just one painting, but many!”
Saverio Tasca
“Paolo Peruzzi is as methodical as he is vigilant over the vibes, airing the sonic taste of a mind at work, a serious student of the craft, modest behind the instrument of his vocation and passion.”
Matt A. Hanson, Jazz Dergisi, Wall Street International
“Paolo has a wonderful sound and conception on the vibraphone.”
