Giovanni Ceccarelli and Ferruccio Spinetti founded this duo in 2008, when they gave a series of successful concerts in Italy, also with the participation of saxophonist Marcello Allulli. When the two musicians went on to founding group InventaRio, the duo stopped performing until its comeback in 2019.
Ferruccio Spinetti is a steady member of duo Musica Nuda and legendary group Avion Travel. Ferruccio and Giovanni recorded together five albums, including the Latin Grammy awarded InventaRio incontra Ivan Lins. Having started playing jazz together more than thirty years ago, the two musicians share a deep musical empathy and a common strong sense for melody.
In 2020 the duo released a tribute album to great composer Ennio Morricone. A recording project produced by French label Bonsaï Music, More Morricone presents original arrangements of well and less known film music by the Italian master. Vocalist Chrystel Wautier is featured on a few tracks. The album was acclaimed by the music press and media internationally. Ceccarelli and Spinetti have been performing More Morricone in several festivals, cultural institutions, concert saisons and jazz clubs in Italy, France and Spain.
Le duo’s new project Le Grand Michel is a tribute to great French composer Michel Legrand. Giovanni and Ferruccio recorded this album in Autumn 2024, inviting as guest artists Enrico Pieranunzi, David Linx, Camille Bertault, André Ceccarelli, Jean Guidoni, Chiara Civello, Cristina Renzetti, Jody Sternberg and David Lewis. Le Grand Michel, an album produced by Bonsaï Music, will be released in Spring 2025.
