Andrea Marcelli - Oneness

Oneness is the second solo album of multi-instrumentalist Andrea Marcelli, who was born in Italy and usually lives in Los Angeles when he is not busy touring. Originally a classical clarinetist, he soon switched to the drumset. Of course he is also a decent keyboarder/pianist. His compositional style combines influences from all kinds of music - and definetely does not get boring. He has worked for Mike Mainieri and Steps Ahead as well as for many famous fusion groups - both as a drummer and clarinettist.

On "Oneness" he has assembled a lot of his friends including Bendik (tenor sax), Chuck Loeb, Ralph Towner, Allan Holdsworth (guitars), Mitchel Forman, Kei Akagi (keyboards), Gary Willis , Marc Johnson, Jimmy Johnson (bass) and a lot of percussionists.

Here are two examples from the album:

"Moon" - a moody piece featuring Allan Holdsworth, Kei Akagi, Marc Johnson and Marcelli (254 kB WAV, 24 a)

"Alone" - a fusion tune with Marcelli overdubbing every instrument - clarinet, drums, synthesizers - and synthesized bass (208 kB WAV - about 20 sec)

The other tunes on the album range from neo-bebop with funky rhythms to moody, floating pieces by way of several styles in between.
