ENG: Electric Circus started at the end of 2013, when Francesco Cretti (guitar), Paolo Urbani (drums and percussion) and Paolo Pilati (bass) decided to form an instrumental band. The project was initially based on playing and arranging famous jazz standards, but the trio began writing original material and creating his own sound, moving between jazz, blues and fusion, creating definitely psychedelic atmospheres. During the first year of activity, talented musicians like Bruce Gil (samples and electronics), Giordano Grossi (upright bass), Alessandro Leonardi (trumpet) and Giuliano Buratti (tenor sax) collaborated on the project, and in November 2014 the band recorded and released their first EP, named “Evoluzione”. The album, recored at MetroRec Studios in Riva del Garda, contains 6 original compositions and a cover version of Mulatu Astatke’s song Asmarina. Between the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015, Electric Circus presented their songs playing in several concerts in northern Italy. From spring 2015 Electric Circus becomes a quintet, since Alessandro (trumpet) and Giuliano (sax) joined the project, starting to present songs from “Evoluzione” and new compositions during their concerts. ITA: L'Electric Circus si forma alla fine del 2013 come trio strumentale, composto da Francesco Cretti (chitarra), Paolo Urbani (batteria/percussioni) e Paolo Pilati (basso). Il progetto parte da sonorità jazz per muoversi verso suoni blues e fusion, proposti con arrangiamenti elaborati e suoni di influenza psichedelica, prendendo ispirazione da artisti come Miles Davis e Weather Report, Mulatu Astatke, The Heliocentrics e BadBadNotgood. Nel primo di attività il progetto si nutre di diverse collaborazioni, come Giordano Grossi al contrabbasso, Alessandro Leonardi alla tromba e Giuliano Buratti al sax. Nel novembre 2014 esce il primo EP "Evoluzione", registrato al MetroRec Studio di Riva del Garda (TN). Il disco, dopo un’introduzione scritta dal musicista elettronico e amico Bruce Gil, si snoda fra 5 brani originali ed una cover del jazzista Mulatu Astatke, capostipite dell'ethio-jazz. Fra la metà del 2014 e l'inizio del 2015 gli Electric Circus presentano i propri brani suonando in diverse location e occasioni importanti, con date in Trentino, in Liguria, a Torino e Milano. In primavera 2015 la band comincia a suonare stabilmente in quintetto, presentando in diversi concerti le nuove composizioni ed i brani tratti da “Evoluzione”.
