Maria Chiara Argirò – Hidden Seas

“…subtly percussive, cinematically evocative ensemble…She’s a quietly compelling presence
in new European jazz.” The Guardian

Hidden Seas is London-based Italian pianist and composer Maria Chiara Argirò’s second
album, following on from her 2016 debut The Fall Dance. She is a well-known name on the
London scene – her keyboard skills much in demand – currently involved with a variety of
musical projects including Liran Donin’s 1000 Boats, Kinkajous, Teotima, Rosie Turton and
Jamie Leeming.

Hidden Seas – composed entirely by Argirò – departs from the more traditional sound of
her debut and sees her turning to synths and electronics and the introduction of vocals.

Accompanying Argirò on piano and electronics is a brilliant line up including singer Leïla Martial,

Sam Rapley (Tenor Sax/Clarinet), Tal Janes (Guitar/Effects), Andrea Di Biase (Double Bass)
and Gaspar Sena (Drums).
