Italy is too small for this man!

With Fabrizio Consoli, after Gianmaria Testa and Paolo Conte, a convincing singer from Italy finally enters the German stages.
With his musical blend of tango, Latin, and jazz, spiced with a well-dosed shot of Italo-pop, Fabrizio Consoli conquers an audience across all age groups.
In Italy, Fabrizio Consoli has been a sought-after musician since the 80s and is hired for studio recordings and tours throughout Europe by significant Italian colleagues such as Eugenio Finardi, Alice, Mauro Pagani, and C. de André. He is regularly invited to the Notte delle Chitarre and has been a guest at the renowned Festival della Canzone Italiana in Sanremo.
He writes successful songs for other Italian artists and film scores, and he received the Piero Ciampi Prize in 2004 for his compositions.
In Germany, Fabrizio Consoli is known from clubs and festivals like Bardentreffen in Nuremberg, where he performs in front of an enthusiastic audience.
Whether alone with his guitar, in a duo with pianist Gigi Rivetti, or in a full quartet lineup with drummer Silvio Centamore and trumpeter and flugelhornist Fabio Buonarota – Fabrizio Consoli knows how to captivate his listeners immediately, filling every room with his vibrant energy.
Capturing this energy on record is a challenge that not all musicians master – Fabrizio Consoli and his collaborators excel at it! Now, after numerous CD productions in Italy, Fabrizio Consoli releases his album "10" for the first time on a German label on September 23, 2016, on CHAOS.
Fabrizio Consoli sings love songs. However, it is not always about romantic love, about the love between a man and a woman. Instead, he tells stories that he distills from everyday scenarios with keen observation. People with all their shortcomings and passions, the ambivalences in culture and politics on the narrow path between power and powerlessness, the sometimes only hair-thin dividing line when exuberant joy threatens to tip into tumult and chaos – that is the material for his songs. With a vigilant mind, Fabrizio Consoli absorbs the entire variety of life and puts it into a larger context. Mindfulness, respect, and love – as written more than 2000 years ago in the Ten Commandments – are considered by him as the ethical foundation of all coexistence, which he poetically processes in the tradition of the great Cantautori. The Ten Commandments also serve as the namesake for the album "10" – where he presents a very secular interpretation of these beliefs.
However, despite the significance of the themes, Fabrizio Consoli's music never suffers, really never, from moralistic heaviness. He is a Milanese – through and through. And when he enters the (studio) stage, he does so with that natural casualness, that unique charisma, inseparably connected with Italy and Italian lifestyle. "Poesia per Ballare" – Poetry for Dancing – is what Fabrizio Consoli calls his music. And when the artist from Milan with a voice between honey and gravel tells his stories of life and love, Italy is suddenly everywhere...
