Style

A cinematic jazz voice steeped in flamenco phrasing meets a lyric, modern piano trio, with tenor fire, singing electric bass, and Afro‑Peruvian/Latin drum colors.
Rhythmic architecture draws on bulería/tangos and post‑bop swing, opening space for elastic ballads, Iberian laments and New‑York‑tight grooves.
Collective storytelling favours counter‑melodies and interlocking ostinati; the band’s DNA privileges timbre and groove to frame harmony with luminous clarity.

Overall profile

Led by vocalist Andy James, this all‑star unit radiates a refined “flamenco‑jazz” aesthetic where articulation and narrative take center stage. James’ warm, burnished timbre and long‑line phrasing sit over Jon Cowherd’s lyrical voicings and a rhythm team that morphs seamlessly from modern swing to Iberian pulses. Rick Margitza adds tensile, glowing tenor lines; Dominique Di Piazza’s singing, chordal bass unlocks counterpoint and pedal‑tone drama; and Alex Acuña sculpts polyrhythms with hand percussion and drumset, dovetailing with the filigree and rasgueado of Juan Antonio Suárez “Canito.”
On our stylistic axes, the leader’s vector (w=0.5) emphasizes Timbre/Articulation and Interplay, while the remaining weights (w≈0.1 each) contribute strong Ritmic/Groove dominance (+0.1 toward Acuña/Canito), a contemporary harmonic vocabulary and idiomatic fluency across post‑bop, Latin and flamenco forms. The result is an elegant, song‑forward sound where dance‑born cadence meets chamber‑like detail—equally at ease with luminous ballads, metric modulations and buoyant vamps.

Member details

Andy James | Vocals
Timbre of satin warmth and theatrical poise; phrasing shaped by flamenco breathing and jazz rubato. Repertoire blends standards and originals with cinematic orchestrations. Interplay foregrounds dialogue with piano and tenor, with Latin/Peruvian percussion shading.
“James’ smoky, enrapturing voice is a direct conduit for the emotion of a song.” (The Urban Music Scene, 2024-04-25)

Jon Cowherd | Piano
A lyric modernist whose voicings and counter‑lines anchor the ensemble’s harmonic clarity. Alternates Rhodes/piano textures; excels at songcraft, ostinati and spacious comping that invites narrative vocals and sax interplay.
“A fantastic trio… powerful chemistry and technical wizardry.” (Filipe Freitas, JazzTrail, 2022-08-23)

Rick Margitza | Saxophone
Clear‑toned, emotive tenor with post‑bop vocabulary and long‑form melodic arcs. His lines bring glow and tensile lift over flamenco cadences, pivoting from burnished ballads to incisive vamps.
“Deeply emotive… featuring superb, clear‑toned playing.” (Jim Hynes, Making A Scene, 2021-02-03)

Juan Antonio Suárez “Canito” | Flamenco Guitar
Rasgueado finesse, hybrid compás and lyrical falsetas; bridges baile energy with modern jazz form. His touch supplies filigree, propulsion and Andalusian color within song‑first arrangements.
“Lo mejor de Canito es que su toque no se parece a ningún otro.” (Sara Arguijo, deflamenco.com, 2020-10-25)

Dominique Di Piazza | Bass
Signature “floating” right‑hand technique enabling harp‑like chords and singing melody; acts as second guitar/piano, enriching harmony and counterpoint while driving groove with elegant articulation.
“A complex right‑hand technique that has revolutionised the electric bass.” (Bass Guitar Magazine, 2009-11)

Alex Acuña | Percussion & Drums
Orchestral percussionist and jazz drummer in one body; Afro‑Peruvian roots, film‑session precision, Weather Report attack. Crafts polyrhythms that breathe with the voice and guitar.
“Alex brings humanity to the rhythm… he brings the spirit of the music.” (Brian Bromberg in DownBeat, 2022-12-27)

MAAIKE GIRARDIN

Maaike Girardin is a Dutch Canadian singer and songwriter who travels the world with her music. Her signature voice, full of feminine sensitivity, discusses hidden thoughts, confessions and broken hearts, which she conveys with charm to her listener as an expert by experience.
Maaike invites you to relive her physical and emotional journeys, but this time through her poetic lyrics and folky guitar playing. In recent years, Maaike has played on stages all over the world, including in Israel, Vietnam and Australia. She collaborated with many musicians of different nationalities and genres. Performances at the Swedish embassy in Hanoi and the Blue Note Jazz Club in Milan are moments she can look back on with pride.
She has something personal. She introduces you to her world. She is naked and shares her emotions. She shares who she really is. It doesn’t sound like anyone else. She is only Maaike Girardin. This is what an artist does. – Dariana Koumanova Conductor of the Sanremo Festival Orchestra.
Maaike Girardin has won multiple awards at the Artist Voice Music conference in Italy. In the summer of 2019 she returned to the Netherlands to devote herself full-time to her music in combination with her Songwriting studies at the Rock Academy. Maaike is currently working on her debut album with Italian guitarist Alberto Ammendolia, which will be released in 2022. This year she is in the national final of Tour Music Fest (Rome, Italy) for the second time. She also played at the Circolo Festival, KRANG festival in the Netherlands, and Wonderest festival in Hungary this year. Her ambition is to touch as many souls as possible with her music and to relive the connection between people.

NOVO NEW VIDEOCLIP: “PALLUNI RUCCATI”

Novo, is a singer-songwriter from Messina, Sicily. Musically it can be placed in the pop / folk scene.
The themes of his texts go from the social to the sentimental, often with an ironic vein, at times controversial.
He took his first steps as a singer in small formations at the age of 19 with classic cover and hard rock but without being able to perform live.
Only at the age of 22, with the Limited Edition group of which he is singer and guitarist in second, with a pop rock repertoire, will perform on several occasions in local and public and private events.
With this training he recorded his first demo entitled “Musa”.
After the experience with the Limited Edition, Novo continues to cultivate his passion for music and in this case in writing and composing music while remaining inactive.
At the age of 25, in 2013, with friends, Danilo Donato (guitarist), Mirco Sapienza (drums), Giuliano Cento (bass) founded Pro Bono, a band whose goal is the production of new songs. Also in this case, besides that of singer, Novo covers the role of second guitarist and author of the band’s songs.
With this training he presents himself at the “Tour Music Fest” with the unreleased track “Dottor Feelgood”, stopping at the second stage of the event.
Later on, with Pro Bono he will record two demos, “Delocalizzescion” and “Lento Lamento”. These will present their works performing at the Rockerilla (Torregrotta, ME).
After the Pro Bono experience in the summer of 2014, thanks to the drummer and friend Mirco Sapienza he came into contact with JWolf productions and met the keyboardist and arranger Dario Lisitano. Here, with the latter, he starts working on his first solo work, or an EP entitled “To not impress us anymore”.
On June 19, 2016, on youtube, he published his first single “Generation 1000 euros?” Awaiting the definitive launch of his ep.

On June 22nd 2016 he is a guest at Radio Zenith Messina for the presentation of his single (“Generazione mille euro?)
In December 2016 he performed at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele of Messina for the event “The gallery that I would like”.
In May 2017 he publishes the video of his new single “Sulle Spiagge di Lei”.

Later Novo takes part in various events held in Messina performing at the “Music Festival 2017” and performing itinerant performances for the initiative sponsored by the municipality of Messina #BusForMe.
In July 2017 he released his first self-produced ep, “Per non impressionarci più”, containing six unreleased tracks, accompanied by a video clip of the song “Prima della regina”. Everything is presented on the city radio “RadioStreet”.
In August he follows on with performances in various local places of Messina and takes part in the “Messina OlymParty” (MOP 2017), an artistic-sporting event that will host the selections of Sanremo Giovani. On the final night of the 2017 MOP, Novo will open the Zero Assoluto concert with the songs “Generazione mille euro?” and “Prima della regina”.

For his videos and performances, Novo will get the attention of online newspapers, TV and local newspapers such as TempoStretto, Tcf and La Gazzetta del Sud.

In July 2019 he is selected (among submissions from all over Sicily) by the artistic director Mario Incudine, famous sicilian art director and songwriter, for the Antillo Folk Fest contest. The final phase is held on July 13th, an evening presented by Salvo La Rosa, the most famous tv presenter in Sicily.

Novo competes with two pieces composed by him, “Sulle Spiagge di Lei” and “Malatia” winning the first prize awarded by the jury chaired by Pippo Rinaldi, aka Kaballà (songwriter and author for artists of the caliber of Carmen Consoli, Mario Venuti, Eros Ramazzotti, Antonella Ruggero, Nina Zilli and many others). He was awarded a musical production and, on July 14, opened the concert “Grande Sud” by Eugenio Bennato, Mario Incudine and Peppe Servillo (Avion Travel).

Novo intervistato da Matteo Arrigo TempoStretto

Ricordi, nostalgia, amore: la ballata per Messina del cantautore Novo

NOVO INTERVISTA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO-ewWWW4Ck

Alessandro Capurro, in arte Novo, giovane cantautore messinese, una passione nata da bambino guardando lo zio suonare la chitarra, un lungo percorso che l’ha portato da qualche anno a cantare e comporre. Nel suo ultimo brano “Palluni ruccati”, racconta con amore nostalgico la sua città. Una canzone in dialetto che scopre in maniera poetica ed evocativa i valori e le tradizioni scomparse. “Non aviumu nenti ma ridiumu sempri” canta Alessandro, ricordando la sua infanzia, in parte vissuta fra le baracche di Camaro San Paolo, dove seppur in un contesto difficile, i valori della comunità erano forti e reali…
“Stiamo perdendo la socialità” – racconta Alessandro – “Credo che una città abbia bisogno di spazi, è da lì che nasce l’aggregazione, l’arte. Quella che Messina sta vivendo è un’occasione unica, lo sbaraccamento deve servire alla città per avere nuovi stimoli, per recuperare spazi e identità.””

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Alessandro Capurro, aka Novo, a young singer-songwriter from Messina, a passion born as a child watching his uncle play the guitar, a long journey that has led him to sing and compose for some years. In his latest song “Palluni ruccati” , he tells his city with nostalgic love. A song in dialect that discovers the values ​​and traditions that have disappeared in a poetic and evocative way. “Non aviumu nenti but ridiumu sempri” sings Alessandro, recalling his childhood, partly lived in the barracks of Camaro San Paolo, where, albeit in a difficult context, the values ​​of the community were strong and real.

“We are losing sociality” – Alessandro says – “I believe that a city needs space, that’s where aggregation, art comes from. What Messina is experiencing is a unique opportunity, the clearing must serve the city to have new stimuli, to recover spaces and identity. “

The piece saw a prestigious collaboration, the choirs were interpreted by Mario Incudine. The arrangements are by Dario Lisitano, who also deserves credit, explains Alessandro, for having directed him on the right musical path. The musicians: Fabrizio Marcellino on guitar and Novo himself, Santino Merrino on percussion.

The video clip of the song was directed by Alessando Capurro and Carlotta Ingemi. The shots were all shot in characteristic places of the city, from the north coast to the village of Pezzolo, and were made by Carlotta Ingemi, Giuseppe Spuria and on the drone by Marco Gismondo.

The appointment not to be missed to listen to Novo live is for August 5th, the singer-songwriter will open the concert by Eugenio Bennato and Mario Incudine. His notes will resonate in the arena of Villa Dante, a place frequented as a child with skinned knees, and which he now finds again as a protagonist.

PALLUNI RUCCATI

n’te lameri i baracca i palluni ruccati,
ncagghiati sutta e machini e ginocchia scucciati
e graniti squagghiati,
pisci e frutta banniati,
i buci di pisciari comu serenati;
e i vecchiareddi n’ta strada
a scucciuliari i favi
pigghitinni na picca si hai fami.

chi non aviumu nenti,
ma riudiumu sempri,
piccireddi e ranni e vecchi senza denti……x2

o l’endass biliardini, gelati e mbriacuni.
ietta l’asu i mazzi sinnò su jastimi
e i luntanu fumu
e ciauru i tajunu, stigghioli e virina
ca birra messina,
e a duminica festa ranni,
pigghia u costumi e ietta i panni
n’ferra tuagghi guanteri e occhiali
chi scinnemu e scinnemu a mari,
tuffi e cuttigghiu e ritticchiu a tinchitè
ma un piscaturi dici vadda da chi c’è
ventu i punenti cancia a correnti
pi cu ridi e non avi nenti.

chi non aviumu nenti,
ma riudiumu sempri,
piccireddi e ranni e vecchi senza denti.

ma poi vinni u progressu e finiu stu giocu
ca modernità vulia chiù decoru
cacciaru i genti di stradi,
stutaru i fochi a mari
e fineru i palluni, i palluni ruccati,
e ora chi avemu i casi belli
e chini di minchiati, ma
si voi parrari cu quaccudunu
non sai chiù aunn’annari.

chi non aviumu nenti,
ma riudiumu sempri,
piccireddi e ranni e vecchi senza denti……x2

ammuccia, ammucciatedda,
a mucciti bonu, chi prima chi scura
forsi
ti trovu.

TRADUZIONE (IT)

Palloni arroccati (1)

nelle lamiere delle baracche i palloni arroccati
incastrati sotto le macchine e le ginocchia sbucciate
le granite squagliate
pesce e frutta urlati (2)
le grida dei pescatori come serenate
e i vecchietti in strada
a sbucciare fave
“prendine un po’ se hai fame”

Che non avevamo niente
ma ridevamo sempre
piccoli e grandi e vecchi senza denti

all’Endas calcio balilla, gelati e ubriaconi (3)
“Butta l’asso di mazze altrimenti sono bestemmie!”
e odore di tajone, stigghiole e virina (4)
con la birra Messina (5)
e la domenica festa grande
prendi il costume da bagno e getta i vestiti
prendi teli da mare, teglie e occhiali (6)
tuffi e pettegolezzi e risate incontrollate
ma un pescatore dice “guarda li cosa c’è
vento di ponente cambia la corrente
per chi ride e non ha niente”

Che non avevamo niente
ma ridevamo sempre
piccoli e grandi e vecchi senza denti

Ma poi è venuto il progresso ed è finito questo gioco
con la modernità volevo più decoro
hanno cacciato le persone dalle strade
hanno spento i fuochi a mare
e sono finiti i palloni, i palloni arroccati
e ora che abbiamo le case belle
e piene di minchiate, ma
se vuoi parlare con qualcuno
non sai dove andare

Che non avevamo niente
ma ridevamo sempre
piccoli e grandi e vecchi senza denti

“Nasconditi, nascondino,
nasconditi bene, che prima che fa sera
forse
ti trovo”

(1) in realtà quando un pallone si “rruccava” finiva in posti poco accessibili per un bambino:
Sui tetti, nei balconi abbandonati, nei terreni privati, nei rami degli alberi, sotto le macchine e così via.

(2) le “banniate” sono le urla che un venditore con una bancarella fa alle persone che comprano al mercato rionale. Per esempio “Signoraaaaa questi pesci hanno l’occhio vivooooo”. Ecco. Questo è banniare

(3) in realtà tutti i circoli ricreativi che avevano dei videogiochi, biliardi, o un semplice tavolino per giocare a carte sono chiamati Endas.

(4) lo street food centenario di Messina: intestino di mucca, budella di pecora, mammella di mucca tutto cotto ai ferri

(5) No. non è la birra Messina che conoscete adesso a livello nazionale. E’ la prima birra Messina. Quella con decenni di tradizione acquisita e stravolta dalla Heineken… lasciamo perdere, va!

(6) per “teglie” si intende la teglia di pasta al forno. Pranzo tipico di chi sceglie di stare tutto il giorno a mare

TRANSLATION (EN)

Perched balloons (1)

in the sheets of the shacks the perched balloons
stuck under cars and skinned knees
the melted slushes
screamed fish and fruit (2)
the cries of the fishermen like serenades
and the old men in the street
to peel broad beans
“take some if you’re hungry”

That we had nothing
but we always laughed
small and large and old without teeth

at the Endas table football, ice cream and drunkards (3)
“Throw away the ace of clubs otherwise they are blasphemies!”
and smell of tajone, stigghiole and virina (4)
with Messina beer (5)
and on Sunday a big party
grab your swimsuit and throw away your clothes
take beach towels, pans and glasses (6)
diving and gossip and uncontrolled laughter
but a fisherman says “look what there is
west wind changes the current
for those who laugh and have nothing “

That we had nothing
but we always laughed
small and large and old without teeth

But then progress came and this game ended
with modernity I wanted more decor
they kicked people off the streets
they put out the fires in the sea
and the balloons are gone, the balloons perched
and now that we have the beautiful houses
and full of bullshit, but
if you want to talk to someone
you don’t know where to go

That we had nothing
but we always laughed
small and large and old without teeth

“Hide, hide and seek,
hide well, that before it gets dark
perhaps
I find you”

(1) in reality when a balloon “crouched” it ended up in places not very accessible for a child:
On roofs, on abandoned balconies, on private land, in tree branches, under cars and so on.

(2) the “banniate” are the shouts that a vendor with a stall makes to people who buy at the local market. For example “Signoraaaaa these fish have a vivid eye”. Here it is. This is banning

(3) actually all the recreational clubs that had video games, billiards, or a simple table for playing cards are called Endas.

(4) the centenary street food of Messina: cow intestine, sheep guts, cow udder all grilled

(5) No. It is not the Messina beer you know now nationally. It is the first Messina beer. The one with decades of tradition acquired and upset by Heineken … forget it, go!

(6) “teglie” means the baking tray of baked pasta. Typical lunch for those who choose to stay all day at sea

Testo e Musica: Novo

TESTO:

Io non so se è andato tutto male, si sta a lingua di fuori come d’estate un cane
Non serve avere resistenza o forza ercolina se a dirigere l’orchestra sono quelli di prima,
dell’uomo fiero e di principio che vuole star ritto si è estinto l’istinto di far proprio un diritto
ci si accontenta di sabati in lunghe esse e a domenica a messe, con lagne sommesse…

Dio salvi noi prima della regina, noi che combattiamo ogni mattina,
noi che non trinchiamo un mojito alle Seychelles
dato baci appassionati sotto la tour Eiffel, stati ospiti mitici al billionaire,
mega rockstar in una tournèe… Dio salvi noi prima della regina.. ( Dio salvi noi prima della regina )

…quanto mi pesa un solo cambiamento, mi butto sul divano e mi lamento!

AAAA, Iò com’a fari pi campariiaiaa…

Rane nuotate sempre più stordite, fateci vedere come morite bollite
Sale sempre più la temperatura ma pochi di voi se ne fanno cura,
nella grande Babilonia nessuno capisce niente
approfittandone del caos il potere mente
la forgia che vi rammollisce è un lavoro massacrante
il martello che modella il maxi schermo gigante!

Dio salvi noi prima della regina, noi che oscilliamo tra miseria e rovina,
noi che a Panama non abbiamo conti offshore, catene di fastfood o megastore,
come unico piacere abbiamo il caffè al bar,
una volta l’anno col coupon la sauna alla spa
Dio salvi noi prima della regina ( Dio salvi noi prima della regina )

Anche se preso da grande sgomento, mi butto sul divano e mi lamento!

AAAA, Iò com’a fari pi campariiaiaa…

Non muore nessuno che abbia vissuto, non vive nessuno che non supplichi aiuto,
c’è un disco rotto tra la gente e le città, che canta suona e dice che nulla si salverà
allo stato delle cose mica mi oppongo ma al momento giusto se posso ne approfitto!

AAAA, Iò com’a fari pi campariiaiaa…
