"Gianni Brezzo is the jazz affiliated band project led by Cologne-based producer, multi-instrumentalist and creative maestro Marvin Horsch. Gianni's diverse profile is reflected both in his scene-hopping as well as his music. Besides producing Cologne pop bands like Keshavara, Woman, and Xul Zolar, Gianni has released a number of EP and LP's since 2017, culminating most recently with Filigrani EP in 2023 on Jakarta. Gianni's new LP, Sprechiamo! is a meditation around Marvin's relationship with Italian culture accompanied by research into Italian music such as Napoli Exchange, the Periodica label or Giuliano Sorgini. Within the album Gianni was looking less for his roots and moreover for his existing Italian bonds and vivid cultural exchange in his current habitat of Cologne, which he is rediscovering time and again by wandering through his neighborhood Ehrenfeld, Cologne. The quarter hosting a vivid scene of Italians who came in the 1950s, such as Gianni's grandparents once did. Sprechiamo! is a timeless release, one that would sit just as well in 1979 as it does in 2025. Vivid Italian references from composers of the '60s/'70s to recent Peridoica, always mixed with a bit of Khrunagbin and Sven Wunder to give it Gianni's own touch. Jakarta Records is ecstatic to share such a high-water mark of an album."
