Dimitri Grechi Espinoza <\/strong>was born in Moscow in 1965 and was always interested in jazz music and in playing the saxophone. His music is contaminated with Eastern cultures, Italian and American jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Espinoza<\/strong> attended the Moscow Jazz Institute and then Jazz Mobile in New York until he moved to Italy where he followed high professional training courses at Siena Jazz, with artists like Pietro Tonolo, Furio di Castri, Stefano Battaglia, and Paolo Fresu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2000, Dimitri<\/strong> founded the group Dinamitri Jazz Folklore<\/strong> and following his need to experiment with music, collaborated with the Congolese company Yela wa<\/strong>. Their partnership wanted to be a research on Congolese healing musical tradition. In 2014, the musical formation positioned itself at second place as Best Italian Group according to Musica Jazz magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simultaneously, Dimitri<\/strong> carried on with his solo career and started his OREB<\/em><\/strong> project, thanks to which he was able to unite two of his greatest passions: the study of sacred science in traditional culture and the sound research in order to re-discover the sound and space in a holy place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OREB<\/em><\/strong> was composed of three albums: the first was Angel\u2019s Blows<\/em><\/strong> (2014), recorded in St. John\u2019s Baptistery in Pisa and produced by Ponderosa Music&Arts<\/strong>. Espinoza<\/strong> wanted \u00abto give back to music its original meaning of dialogue with \u201cthe Sacred\u201d. It\u2019s an album thanks to which we are able to overcome the religious differences and meet with us and others, in order to understand the Unity that connects the entire cosmic order\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second album of the OREB<\/em><\/strong> project, published again by Ponderosa Music & Arts<\/strong> in 2016, was Recreatio<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em>recorded in Cisternino di Pian Rota in Livorno, an incredible neoclassical architecture. Thanks to his ability with the sax, Grechi Espinoza<\/strong> is able to infuse life in the space where he plays, and his music fills every corner of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His third and last album of the OREB<\/em><\/strong> project was The Spiritual Way<\/em><\/strong> that was recorded in 2019 again in St. John\u2019s Baptistery in Pisa. The album decides to \u00abface the theme of spiritual virtues. Through my music, I tried to give credit to a traditional Chinese text which leads a journey of inner discovery and traces its key principles\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the publication of The Spiritual Way<\/em>, Espinoza<\/strong> performed in Italy in May 2020 during JAZZMI <\/strong>at St. Ambrogio Church where his sax echoed and enchanted the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
