Andrea Zacchia Releases New Album "Anemoia"

ROME - May 30, 2025 - PRLog -- Italian guitarist and composer Andrea Zacchia invites listeners on a musical journey suspended between memory and imagination—an unreal place that somehow feels intimately known. May 30th, 2025, marks the release of his second album, Anemoia, his first under Filibusta Records.

This contemplative, groove-laced exploration of modal jazz and post-bop is built on the dynamic energy of a Hammond trio, featuring Pietro Caroleo (Hammond organ) and Maurizio De Angelis (drums), guided by a profound sense of nostalgic imagination.

Zacchia shares, "Anemoia is an album conceived from the desire to express a part of me that drifts between real memories and the imaginary world. It's the sound of certain sunsets seen from a meadow, of a gentle breeze that catches you by surprise while lost in thought, of adolescent years spent jamming rock in a rural rehearsal room." The album's title, Anemoia, derives from the ancient Greek ánemos ("wind") and nóos ("mind"), perfectly encapsulating "a nostalgia for a time I never lived, yet one I feel deeply every time I play these notes."

Expertly recorded, mixed, and mastered by Federico Palmieri at Fusion Music Studio in Monterotondo (RM), the album dynamically navigates between open structures and powerful interplay. It's a sonic landscape where suspended harmonies give way to rhythmically rich sections, achieving a refined balance as groove and melody elegantly intertwine.

The guitar, with a language ranging from lyrical phrasing to sharper interventions, guides the melodic discourse and engages in a constant, intimate dialogue with the ensemble. The Hammond organ crafts rich, layered harmonic tapestries, serving as both rhythmic foundation and a solo voice. The drums, with their dynamic approach, underline transitions, accompanying the trio on a journey that alternates episodes of strong intensity with more rarefied and contemplative moments.

The songs unfold through a fluid architecture, where melodies evoke images of open spaces and dreamlike scenarios, and improvisation becomes the expressive fulcrum of the sound narration. Anemoia includes original compositions alongside tributes to jazz legends like Sonny Rollins' "Oleo," Wes Montgomery's "Full House," and Carl Perkins' "Groove Yard," creating a seamless dialogue between past and present. The album blends melodic sensitivity and rhythmic depth, a journey through color, movement, and memories, suspended between solid structures and passageways towards the unknown.
