Guitarist and composer Andrea Molinari is preparing the release of his new album, Awakening | Il tutto nel nulla, out on September 12, 2025 via Ropeadope.
Following the success of ‘51’ (2019), praised by Musica Jazz, Jazzit, All About Jazz, Amadeus, and la Repubblica, Molinari returns with a bold new project inspired by years of reflection on the state of the world.
This new work stretches his guitar and compositional skills, offering a deeply personal and exploratory sound. The album will feature Dutch alto saxophonist Ben van Gelder, as Andrea reaches across borders to broaden his musical voice. Personnel include trumpeter Alessandro Presti, pianist Enrico Zanisi, bassist Francesco Ponticelli, and drummer Enrico Morello.
"There are some musicians who transform difficulty in the world and their lives to create positive music for the world to hear and find comfort in; we find Andrea Molinari to be fully authentic in this role. It is refreshing and uplifting, and we look forward to his new project with great enthusiasm." — Louis Marks, Ropeadope.
