Alex Pertout QUADRIFOGLIO
Alex Pertout has unveiled his newest album, Quadrifoglio, on Nailuj Music (The Planet / MGM). This dynamic and innovative project highlights Pertout's original compositions, which were conceived, developed, arranged and produced, to celebrate the artistry of percussion and percussive improvisation across diverse creative landscapes. The album presents Pertout in both solo and duo performances, with the latter featuring collaborative improvisations alongside four globally renowned percussion virtuosi: legendary US conguero Raul Rekow, English multi-percussionist Pete Lockett, Egyptian tabla maestro Hossam Ramzy and with Australian master drummer David Jones.
