Uppergound Orchestra records and performs with a rotating cast of self-declared jazz nomads, including drummer Tommaso Cappellato, saxophonists Piero Bittolo Bon and Ralf Altrieth, and Matteo Alfonso. Their inaugural release, Solaris Eremit (Morphine Records, 2008), was recorded from jam sessions in Venetia, and included edits by Beani as Ra.H. The Eupen Takes followed in 2012, the first in a series of live recordings on Beani’s own Morphine Records adapted from a June 2011 performance at the Eupen Muzik Marathon in Belgium.
