As a follow-up to his most personal project to date - 2015’s KOI - in-demand Italian bassist Lorenzo Feliciati has upped the ante on Elevator Man, a powerhouse recording with echoes of King Crimson, Allan Holdsworth and other Prog Rock icons.

 

Elevator Man features a rotating cast of stellar musicians, including King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto, former Holdsworth/Zappa drummer Chad Wackerman, Swedish Freak Guitar shredder Mattias IA Eklundh, Italian progressive metal guitarist Marco Sfogli (currently in Premiata Forneria Marconi), trumpeter Cuong Vu and Feliciati’s Naked Truth bandmate Roy Powell on distortion-laced clavinet. 

 

As well as composing and arranging the material, Feliciati plays fretted and fretless basses, electric guitar and keyboards on his seventh recording as a leader.
