Vittorio Bianchi (the surname also means “white”) is actually lost in black music legacy, bringing acid jazz, jazz funk and soul music on stage for many years. Lostinwhite’s first album, ON THE RHODES, has a heavy-funk cover of WHAT’S GOING ON as main track, just to declare where the project takes its root inspirations. The sound of Lostinwhite is certainly related to the acid jazz movement of the
nineties. Arrangements are rich of “real” instruments, privileging the Fender Rhodes over other kinds of keyboards, often using brass sections to interact with the rhythmic section formed by drums, bass and electric guitar. Coming across “America” (stage name for Sofia Anessi), the current young vocal leader of the group, was an important turning point for Lostinwhite, who found a fresh and sensitive performer in her. America cooperates with the project writing songs with Vittorio and has become an important reference for all us on stage and in the studio. Our 2018 EP, MATTERS OF TIME, is the first published work with her on vocals; A LONG DAY, the track chosen as single, was recorded when Sofia was 16 years old. At the end of 2019 our publisher (Victoria Records) brought the group to sign with the grooviest Italian label, IRMA RECORDS, which is very well known across and outside Europe. Lostinwhite have released three single with IRMA RECORDS: DO IT, THE WEEK and FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE. A new album (UNSTABLE) is ready, and we are waiting for the live activity to restart before releasing it. Our dream is to bring our music live to important jazz clubs like the Blue Note and to international festivals all around the world. In the meantime Vittorio is writing the songs which are supposed to be part of the 2022 album. LOSTINWHITE are:
Vittorio Bianchi: producer, songwriter, keyboards
America, lead vocals
Arki Buelli, drums
Roberto Gherlone, bass
Andrea Fazzi, guitars
Angelo Peli, sax and flute
