Artist History Q-Bizm was born in 1997 during a vacation in Switzerland when Filippo Gaetani (bass & vocals), Francesco Corrias (drums) and ETN Hunyady (guitar) met for a long bass-guitar-drums jam. The first official recording took place live in the studio at Le Bozze in Tuscany, Italy, during a weekend of July 2000.The recordings were mostly live improvisations, the material was then turned into songs. One of the most representative songs out of these sessions was "Annie's Drugstore". The second session took place in April 2001. New songs were written (among which the single "Make Me") and new musicians joined Filippo, Francesco, ETN and Alessandro Riccucci, who had overdubbed the saxophone solos on the previous material. Steph D'Silva, a british guitarist, brought his very personal guitar style and two new songs; Valentin Gerlier with his acoustic guitar playing, his vocals, and his vision helped to shape the sound of the new songs. The result of the 2000 and 2001 recordings is the band's first album "Q-Bizm". The second album was recorded during different sessions in july, october and december 2002. The new compositions and production reflect the influence of the musicians who took part in the new project: Thomas Murley (vocals, drums and percussion), Walter Paoli (Drums), Stefano Lunardi (Electric and acoustic violin, and viola) and Alessandro on tenor, baritone saxophone and flute. Keven Mowen, vocalist, although not prsent on any of the studio recordings, participated in the rehersals and a live date in 2002. New sounds were explored by the band adding interesting new flavours to the already varied musical spectrum spanning from acoustic, funk-rock & jazz to electronic.
