Nicola Guida - Speleology (2021)

Firmly steeped in tradition yet audibly contemporary, 'Speleology' is harmonically and melodically rich, rhythmically virile, and focused on in-the-moment improv. The combination of abandon and control is exceptional throughout, and a convincing demonstration of Nicola's inventive writing and prodigious technique.

London-based pianist, composer and producer, Nicola Guida is considered as one of the most inspired Italian Jazz musicians of the new generation. A disciplined virtuoso and a genre-bending musician, Guida's style is both cerebral and underground.
