Con l' entusiasmo ancora sulla pelle per gli emozionanti concerti dell' Italian Saxophone Quartet negli Stati Uniti conclusi il 24 gennaio 2008, Federico Mondelci, Marco Gerboni, Mario Marzi e Massimo Mazzoni trascorreranno qualche giorno di meritato riposo a Las Vegas prima di ripartire per la tournee alle Bermuda...mi raccomando ragazzi, non giocatevi tutto!Pubblichiamo alcuni commenti che abbiamo ricevuto relativi agli ultimi concerti dell' Italian Saxophone Quartet, tour U.S.A. 2008:
"Carissimo Federico,
E’ stato un’enorme piacere incontrarti venerdi’ scorso a Santa Rosa. Il concerto e’ stato memorabile, sia per me che per la stragrande maggioranza delle persone con cui ho avuto modo di parlare. Proprio pochi minuti fa ho avuto una conversazione con la mia Marketing Manager che, essendo responsabile del nostro stand nella lobby, ha avuto modo di conversare con una quantita’ enorme di persone durante l’intermezzo ed alla fine del concerto. L’opinione comune era che questo e’ stato il miglior concerto a cui hanno mai assistito. Da profana della musica, permettimi di dirti che sia tu che Marco, Mario e Massimo siete formidabili. Non solo sapete produrre musica di alta qualita’, ma sapete portare a chi vi ascolta un livello di emozione e divertimento incomparabile. Sono lieta che abbiate accettato l’invito della Santa Rosa Concert Assosciation ed incredibilmente orgogliosa di avervi presentati . Mi auguro che uno dei prossimi tours vi faccia ritornare da queste parti, ma la prossima volta dobbiamo mettere in programma almeno il tempo per una cena. Spero che continuate a divertirvi nel tempo che vi rimane qui in California. Un grosso abbraccio a te ed ai colleghi." Gabriella

"The concert was fantastic! Everything about it was wonderful. The
musicians had just come from theatres with 1,500 and then 1,000.... so
to come to a small theatre with 250 people -- WOW was it terrific! The
four of them had such a great time on stage. Not only was their playing
impeccable, but their musicianship, their choice of repertoire, their stage
presence, and their communication with the audience was superb! They did a lot
of "funny" little things like putting a banana down the bell of
the tenor sax, etc. Also, the San Diego Chargers were playing their play-off game at
the same time as the concert and I told the musicians about this. The game
was over by the time we got to the intermission, and so when the musicians
came back on stage, they mentioned the fact that they knew there was a game
going on today and they hoped that San Diego would win. Well.... the
audience yelled out, "We lost!" Marco and Mario then proceeded to
put their arms around each other and said, "Oh, then we cannot play, we just
cannot play," and they proceeded to walk off stage arm in arm with their heads down.
Then finally the bass sax went around the shell and brought them back out
and they had their heads down saying, "Oh, how can we play...how can
we play." It was really hysterical. Anyway, the Board members took them to dinner afterwards and we had 17 people total in a private room. It was lots of fun and everyone had a great time!
So that's it from here..... great performance."
