About Sal La Rocca

SAL LA ROCCA 4tet
Bassist Sal La Rocca's new album is full of groove and freedom. His modern jazz and transe-like sounds are touched by avant-gardism. Walloon and Flemish, Belgian and Italian, his band is a model of unity through diversity. The project explores a certain duality. First, by the presence of Flemish and Walloon musicians; then, by the apparent opposition between avant-gardism and tradition. Jeroen and Lieven open doors to unexpected sounds and colors. Sal and Pascal are more anchored in the tradition, while remaining permeable to other sounds. This alliance offers open music, with surprising tones, groove background that recall the hard-bop of the 60s. – Igoo Records/Album
