- Cat No: XPLR001
- updated:2025-04-08
Recorded with cutting-edge Italy/L.A. drummer Tommaso Cappellato, L.A. synth/keyboard player Diego Gaeta, and bassist Tony Martin. From the opening, the drumming carries on the spirit of Tony Allen, with all the appeal of a real ensemble.
Track List
Tommaso Cappellato, the visionary behind Domanda Music and a respected figure in global jazz, leads Explorare – an ever-evolving ensemble of LA’s finest jazz virtuosos. Launched in early 2022, Explorare’s mission is to delve into music’s rich landscape through improvisational performances, where persistent grooves are shaped by the unique vibes of the individual members in the present moment.
Their self-titled debut album, “Explorare” drops on October 13, 2023, on the homonymous record label Explorare, featuring pianist Diego Gaeta (Andre3000, Carlos Niño) and bassist Tony Martin (Brainstory). Explorare is more than just a musical project – it embodies the spirit of musical community through a transformative journey that invites listeners to delve into the depths of sonic exploration, guided by carefully crafted energy and passion.

A new leader album from Tommaso Cappellato, a drummer on the modern progressive jazz scene who has appeared on works by Mark De Clive-Lowe and Nicola Conte, with Astral Travel and Khalab on Italy's 〈Hyperjazz〉, and in the band of Rabih Beaini (Morphosis), and who relocated from Italy to L.A. where he also runs 〈Domanda Music〉. Recorded with L.A. synth/keyboard player Diego Gaeta, known for his collaborations with Andre 3000 and Carlos Nino, and Tony Martin, bassist of Brainstory on 〈Big Crown〉. A superb trio recording where each player's strengths intertwine. Highly recommended. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
