  • Alberto Traversi

      The Traversi Quartet was born out of a desire to bring back to light, classics and standards in the jazz realm, performed with an everlasting quartet. From Kern to Rodgers and Hart, Gerswhin to Cole Porter up to Burt Bacatach, symbol of a lounge world which creates new trends, the AT4et combines immortal melodies and authors brought to worldwide success by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy DavisJr and Dean Martin.

      Its really from the mythical 'Rat Pack' that AT4et takes inspiration and plays tracks such as "The Lady is a Tramp" I get a Kick" Night and Day" and "Blue Moon" with fresh new shades and 'solos' on theme variations in a typical swing mood. Might be like in the 50's in a Grand Hotel, where AT4et recreates the glamour and atmosphere of unique sounds and images

      Their first EP is the beginning of an explorative journey into the future of electronic music, creating their own unique and distinctive sound.

      Historic electronic labels such as Warp, Border Community etc. and the "Israel school " of artists like Shlomi and Guy Gerber gave them the spark to look for their own music adventure. Being a very young duo their future looks a very interesting and bright one.
