The album consists of 9 tracks that act as a bridge between the different origins of the collective and the musical worlds that range from jazz to classical music, through world music, to pop, to create a deep sense of community and union between the different countries.

The project aims to promote understanding, open-mindedness, and unity between people from different cultural backgrounds, highlighting how music can act as a universal language that connects people from all over the world.

"The choice of a collective for our new album comes from the need to explore new sound universes. After our previous album "Travel", the compositions have been further enriched with exotic atmospheres and more – say Marco Vezzoso and Alessandro Collina – "Many memories, images, places, people we met resurface in the melodies of the trumpet and the harmonies of the piano".

Each track on the album is named after a city she wishes to tell a story about, incorporating its musical elements and rhythms, the title of the album itself, "New Way", suggests a sense of movement and discovery, inviting the listener to embark on board. in a musical journey through the sounds and stories of the different countries and genres represented.

Here is the tracklist of "New Way": "Rain In Seoul", "M. Kerpatenko", "Kyoto Flowers", "No Black Tie In Kuala Lumpur", "Dubai's Moon", "Paris En TGV", "Osaka Bridge", "Nice Nissa" and "Hangin'Out In Sanya".

"Mr. Kerpatenko" is dedicated to the Ukrainian conductor of the Kherson Philharmonic Yuriy Kerpatenko, killed by the Russian army in his home for refusing to perform at a concert organized by the employment forces.

This album is a bridge between collective music worlds - jazz to classical, to create a deep sense of community and union between different countries.
