CrossBeat Collective brings together guitarist, composer and producer Antonello Boezio and Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Sandro Haick in an album where contemporary jazz, Brazilian rhythms and Mediterranean sensibility meet.
A dialogue between Puglia and Brazil
Released in 2026 by Bobo Records, the project grew from a long-standing artistic relationship connecting Bari with the Brazilian music scene. Rather than treating those traditions as separate worlds, the record places them in continuous dialogue: composition opens into improvisation, acoustic colours interact with modern production, and rhythmic detail becomes part of the storytelling.
Eight tracks built through collaboration
The album features eight original tracks shaped by Boezio’s guitar, composition, artistic production and recording work, together with Haick’s multi-instrumental voice and musical vision. Guests including Cainã Cavalcante and Gaia Gentile broaden the palette and underline the collective nature of the project.
Every arrangement is designed around listening. The musicians leave room for melodic exchange, dynamic contrast and spontaneous interaction, while the production preserves clarity and warmth. This balance makes CrossBeat Collective relevant to listeners interested in Brazilian jazz, contemporary guitar, international collaborations and independent record production.
Bobo Records and MAST Recording Studios
The release also reflects Antonello Boezio’s wider work across performance, composition, sound engineering and artistic direction. Through Bobo Records and MAST Recording Studios in Bari, he develops projects that connect musicians, education, technology and international exchange.
