HUMAN
Sandra Cipolat Trio
With her new project “HUMAN”, Sandra Cipolat mixes jazz, current music and soul codes, defending the idea that jazz is actual. She merges genres and styles to push back boarders and don’t fit into musical and social norms. Pianist and signer at the same time, she is looking for a great freedom using “Ableton Live” MAO software. She wants to break the rules, sing with several voices and leave her instrument behind to meet her public on stage. With committed and feminist texts, she promotes the idea of genres and styles fusion with a rich polyphonic writing to create a new sound. The trio mixes harmonies and jazz improvisations as Herbie Hancock, Dave Holland or Jacob Collier do, with warm soul grooves like Lianne la Havas, Erykah Badu and Esperanza Spalding.
The trio won 2023 Occijazz residency and will be welcomed at the Théâtre Molière – National Stage of Sète for an artistic residency in 2023.

The Sandra Cipolat Trio’s new project is called «HUMAN», because it’s about all those people who have shaped the different facets of the young composer’s personality and made her the woman and artist she is today.
In «The Paintress», for example, we hear the voice of her Italian grandmother. Born in 1916, she found painting a way to express herself at a time when women had no voice of their own, and this song is a tribute to the first feminist example Sandra encountered in her life.
