"During the path of life, suffering represents a moment capable of nourishing the spirit of solidarity and collaboration between people which often evolves into Beauty, which has an infinite duration" Reithia takes its name from the pre-Roman Deity, symbol of rebirth and healing. Even if it had Venetian origins, its cult also developed in the municipalities of the western Alps between the provinces of Bergamo and Brescia, the hometowns of the four musicians of the group. These two cities have recently become sadly famous because of the serious and huge losses suffered during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The project, created in collaboration with the Jazz on the road Association, is a way to create and convey a message of hope and rebirth through the most ancient and universal language: Music.
The album was entirely recorded during the first concert of the group held in Brescia as part of the XVII edition of the Jazz on The Road Festival (one of the few Italian jazz events held in July 2020). The record features 8 songs which were specially composed by the four musicians during the tragic lockdown period of March and April 2020 as well as an original arrangement of the famous Cole Porter song “Easy to Love”, used as the official Festival soundtrack.
With all that said we wish you good listening and ... good rebirth to everyone.
