Atalante is the new musical project of Italian double bass player Federico Marchesano. The band's name is a tribute to the eponymous poetic and surrealistic Jean Vigo's movie Atalante in which Atalante is a house boat that sails through the French rivers around which the events of Jean and Juliette, develop, encountering desolate and intimate soundscapes. After their debut at the Torino Jazz Festival (that in 2018 commissioned the project ) the band had several live performances, now followed by this recording. Their sound is mainly centred Marchesano's powerful double bass and the Louis SCLAVIS' bass clarinet lyrical voice.
