Phasis V is a slow, heartbeat-paced piece. The low reeds and bass pull in tight circles while the percussion shows up as sparks, not fireworks. It starts almost whispered and then swells into something that feels like a small, stubborn ceremony being recorded.
Favorite track: Phasis V.

Across six tracks representing lunar phases, AVA TRIO evoke forgotten moon rituals where Mediterranean folk traditions blend seamlessly with contemporary jazz improvisation. Definitely an album you need to spend some time with.
Favorite track: Phasis III.

about
Full Moon, November AD 283
Beneath the moon's gaze,
olive oil workers gather in secret,
within the limestone walls of a trullo.
Their chants and rhythms spiral upward,
a devotion carved in sound
vanishing into night yet circling forever.

released November 28, 2025
Recorded in Apulia, southern Italy, inside a centuries-old trullo — a conical limestone chamber that became the band’s fourth instrument— lunae (Latin: “of the moon”) is a site-specific, archeo-musicological exploration of sound and space.
Celebrating ten years of music journey, AVA Trio shapes its fifth album, lunae, distilled from Giuseppe Doronzo’s composition Sabbatical. Across six lunar phases, AVA Trio traces forgotten moon rituals where sound and silence return in cycles.
Giuseppe Doronzo: prepared baritone sax, fluxophone, mizmar, gong
Esat Ekincioglu: double bass
Pino Basile: cupaphon, percussion
Recorded at the Trullo on the Cagnazzi Estate, Altamura (Italy) on August 1-2, 2023.
Mixed and Mastered by David Zuchowski, Chicago
Design and Artwork by Carla Indipendente
Produced by AVA Trio & TORA Records

When I fire up my machine in the morning I often click on music that someone has just purchased as they roll by. This Thursday turned out to be a winner. This stuff is an amazing amalgamation of styles and genre. If 2026 remains half as good as this, then it'll be a good one.

Fantastic record! It's spiritual, earthy, emotional, and unexpectedly melodic but with a throughline of the outré. I've kept turning back to it over the last week. Great stuff!
