Projects

Changing Shapes is Lorenzo Vitolo’s debut recording project, the songs were written during
different moments of his musical and artistic growth.
A common thread links these compositions, the continuous change of shapes and notes,
of spaces and times, of thoughts and feelings.
The project was realized in trio, with musicians with whom Lorenzo has already collaborated
playing in different concerts, in the city where they live,  Groningen in the Netherlands.
This trio has found a great unity, despite the geographical distances and the different musical
backgrounds of each musician.
Lorenzo Vitolo has a background of classical music and jazz studies, re-emerging into 
his compositions and performances. 
He gets continuously inspired by the study and listening of those who created before, and he
appropriately mixes his knowledge with the one offered by the infinite horizon  of this beautiful 
music that is jazz.
Rafael Abdalla, the double bass player, comes from San Paolo. He has three albums and a large number of participations in music and record projects by other musicians.
He contributes to the project with his deep understanding of the wonderful Brazilian music that 
he adds wisely with modern jazz sounds.
George Potamianos, the drummer, is from Patras, Greece. After his studies in Greece he moved to Holland to perfect his jazz studies. He is involved in various projects, and he always supports music with his great energy, with which he creates a powerful empathy with the other musicians and listeners.
