“Lakes” is a concept album, produced with the support of “Pro Helvetia” (association which promotes culture in Switzerland); in it, each track is inspired by a different Swiss lake. Seven compositions alternate between swing and straight eighths, ending with a chamber music-like track waiting to be discovered.

A captivating rhythmic section with Giacomo Reggiani (drums) and Alessandro Maiorino (double bass) supports two outstanding soloists: Federico Monetta (piano) and Manuel Pramotton (Tenor Saxophone). Special guest René Mosele, a Swiss trombonist, adds a touch of class to the project.
