Translate words into music notes, or translate notes into words, a similar operation for Giulio Risi, so that we would be tempted to speak about his Cd booklet as well as his tunes. Music beyond the music, pictures with big stains of shadows, nocturnal, sudden lightning like inner leap ups. Giulio Risi's Cd is a piece of art that ignores rests..that will stay with you..even when music is over....
Fabrizio Ciccarelli "Jazzitalia" Magazine May 2006
----------------------------------
It's with deep satisfaction that I'm discovering a rebirth in Italian Jazz and I can tell you that next "Cd of the week" shall be Giulio Risi's "Deep down where the heart beats no more". One of the most magnificent Cd's to have ever arrived at our radio station. The beauty of some tunes sent shivers down my spine. An explosive blend of music genres that can be accomplished only by a great artist.
"Vinilemania" June 2006
----------------------------------
"Deep down where the heart beats no more" in an album that presents an attitude to move towards opposite directions, the research of many solutions to give birth to different episodes, in which Giulio Risi confronts with the giants of the past without fear.
Fabio Ciminiera for "Jazz Conventions" October 2006
----------------------------------
Giulio is a really multifaceted artist who nourishes his intellectual curiosity by producing not only music, but literature and poetry as well. As he himself says "Deep down where the heart beats no more" is a Cd I conceived as a virtual journey around the world".
The stylistic integrity is guaranteed by the huge mastery with which Giulio Risi moves in the meanders of his compositions, and this is an absolute beacon of the integrity and seriousness of his technical and cultural preparation.
Piero Quarta for "Prove Aperte" December 2006
----------------------------------
Giulio constructs works of taste and sophistication that keep confirming him as an artist of stature.
Keith Ames for "Musician" September 2006
----------------------------------
Listening to Giulio's music is a dreamy journey around the world. Countries pass before your very eyes as you hear the gorgeous blend of Spanish music with Be Bop going through Latin, African, Funk and Classical Music. Splendid
Letizia Pozzo for "Viva Verdi" September 2006
----------------------------------
Giulio has been able to pleasurably surprise me and I assure you that, daily receiving a massive amount of Cds to review from Italy and abroad, it's now rather difficult to surprise me and give me the impression of listening to something new, something different from the usual
"Deep down where the heart beats no more" is a project whose tunes are never the same to each other and are able to renew the pleasure of the listening, with the gentleness of a beautiful soul like - I'm certain - the one he has.
Bruno Pollacci for "Anima Jazz" February 2006
----------------------------------
Multi-instrumentalist, Giulio Risi has spent the last ten years in London working between Latin Jazz and Progressive Rock.
Here he signs his second album, a work completely open to World Jazz.
Eleven tunes played with different bands and famous musicians who absorb folkloric influences and spins of modernism to recreate a catchy sound, rich of variety and shapes.
