Italian Cultural Institute Hong Kong is bringing Italian contemporary experimental Jazz trio HackOut! to Hong Kong as part of their Asian tour! Feautring Manuel Caliumi (alto sax), Luca Zennaro (guitar) and Riccardo Cocetti (drums), they will perform songs from their latest album, released in October 2024 under the Caligola Records label.
HackOut! is a bass-less trio formed in 2019 within the walls of the “F. Venezze” Conservatory in Rovigo. The project’s repertoire aims to explore its own sonic identity by emphasizing the musical personalities of each member, experimenting with the balance between harmonic structures and radical improvisation, and blending acoustic and electric timbres.
In recent years, the trio has released two albums: Cedrus Libani (2021), recorded in the studio, and Sad Music For Happy Elevators (2023), recorded live at the historic Venetian jazz club “Al Vapore”.
Between 2021 and 2024, HackOut! performed across France, Norway, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy, appearing at some of the most important European festivals, such as Jazzycolors (FR), Jazz à La Cité (FR), Bergamo Jazz Festival, Venice Jazz Festival, Sile Jazz, Blue Monk Festival, and Albinea Jazz. They also performed at Italian Cultural Institutes (Paris, Madrid, Oslo, Brussels, Cologne) and at the Canadian Culture Centre in Paris.
They have also collaborated and recorded with some prominent musicians, including Jacky Terrasson, Fulvio Sigurtà, Francesco Diodati, and Francesco Giomi.
