The Italian band journeys somewhere between blues and free jazz, counting among its major inspirations blues masters Charley Patton, Blind Willie Johnson and Skip James, as well as avant-garde icons Julius Hemphill, John Carter, Marion Brown, Phil Cohran, Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre and Charles Tyler. In their own words, the quintet feeds on love and respect for this music they have grown up with. Roots Magic sprouted in Rome in 2013, and their four Clean Feed albums (Hoodoo Blues (2015), Last Kind Words (2017), Take Roots Among the Stars (2020) and last year’s Long Old Road) – have been voted Best Albums of the Year by the media, from the Italian Musica Jazz magazine to the New York City Jazz Record paper. Their live festival and club shows (they stopped in Slovenia in 2018 with a set at Jazz Cerkno) have received enthusiastic reviews full of praise for their genuine and vehement expression.
