Avion Travel

Piccola Orchestra Avion Travel, knownas Avion Travel , was founded in Caserta in 1980 and during the years crossed rock, pop, and new wave with incursions in the cinematic hemisphere, theatre, and Italian musical tradition.

Avion Travel participated in the Sanremo Festival in 1987, winning the rock section with the song “Sorpassando”. In 1992 they released their first album Bellosguardo which, together with Opplà in the following year and Finalmente Fiori (1995), symbolized one of the cornerstones of the historic band’s music together with the beginning of their success. During these years, the Piccola Orchestra was formed by Peppe Servillo (vocals), Fausto Mesolella (guitar), Mario Tronco (keyboard), Mimì Ciaramella (drums), Ferruccio Spinetti (double bass), and Peppe D’Argenzio (sax).

From 1995 Avion Travel started a series of parallel projects which merged music, cinema, and theatre. The first one was La guerra vista dalla luna , a single-act musical play starring the famous Italian actor Fabrizio Bentivoglio. The play debuted at Teatro Parioli (Roma) in May 1995 and was then staged in major Italian and foreign cities.

After curating the soundtrack of the film Hotel Paura by Renato De Maria (1996), they embarked on national and international tour in the summer of 1997. From that tour was released their first live album, Vivo di Canzoni (1998).

That same year they participated in the forty-eighth edition of the Sanremo Festival with the song “Sleep and Dream” that won the Premio della critica e della giuria di qualità. The jury was chaired by English composer Michael Nyman who expressed great admiration for Avion Travel in an article for the Financial Times.

One year later, Avion Travel started an innovative project: together with producer Arto Lindsay , father of New York’s new wave, they produced Cyrano, in which they mixed the harmony and the voice of Peppe Servillo with Lindsay’s typical guitars and electric keyboards.

In 2000 they were once again on the Sanremo Festival’s stage, where they won with the song “Sentimento”.

Between 2003 and 2007, the Orchestra ’s components engaged in individual experiences until returning together with a new formation: Peppe Servillo on vocals, Fausto Mesolella on guitar, Mimì Ciaramella on drums, Vittorio Remino on bass, and Flavio D’Ancona on keyboards. In 2009, Avion Travel published L’amico magico , a collection of compositions by Nino Rota revised with original arrangements.

Sadly, in 2017, Fausto Mesolella – historical guitarist of the group and prominent Italian musician, composer, and arranger – passed away, leaving behind a career rich in collaborations and awards.

In 2020, Avion Travel participated in La Musica dei Cieli festival , in collaboration with BeatMi. This was a special edition, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic: eight international artists were asked to perform in places of worship or in theatres in Milan and Lombardy. Their exhibitions, however, were live streamed on the website of Corriere della Sera .

Avion Travel performed with their newest formation, composed by Peppe Servillo (vocals), Peppe D’Argenzio (sax), Flavio D’Ancona (keyboards), Duilio Galioto (piano and keyboards), Ferruccio Spinetti (double bass), and Mimì Ciaramella (drums).

Piccolo Orchestra Avion Travel Performs at Joe's Pub

By Jon Pareles

• June 5, 2006

Peppe Servillo, the singer in Piccolo Orchestra Avion Travel, introduced a "classic Neapolitan song" called "Canzona Appassionata" partway through the group's set at Joe's Pub on Saturday night. The way the band played it, though, was thoroughly untraditional, with a sinuous Caribbean rhythm and hovering electric guitar lines that wandered, at times, toward flamenco or funk.

Piccola Orchestra Avion Travel mixes old-world romance with modern possibilities. Mr. Servillo's elegant gestures and his gritty voice — building from husky whisper to droll confidence to virile growl — ground the songs in European cabaret, but Avion Travel won't stay in any lounge. Like some other Italian songwriters, including the brilliant, grizzled Paolo Conte (with whom Avion Travel has lately been collaborating), Avion Travel welcomes all sorts of ideas.

The group has been through multiple incarnations since it formed in 1980 as a rock band. It picked up instruments like accordion and saxophone and toyed with electronica, and its studio albums have dipped into gleaming orchestral pop, bossa nova and tango. Mr. Servillo, who writes the lyrics, offers both imagistic mood pieces and snappy narratives.

Avion Travel has won Italian pop competitions like the San Remo Festival and the Festival of Italian Song. Two contest winners, "Dormi e Sogna" ("Sleep and Dream") and "Sentimento," were part of Saturday's set, but they were radically stripped down. At Joe's Pub, the orchestra was a lean and supple quartet, with Mr. Servillo backed by Fausto Mesolella on guitar, Vittorio Remino on five-stringed fretless bass and Mimmo Ciaramella on drums.

The minimal lineup made the songs more intimate and open. By removing the markers of genre, the arrangements brought out the drama of Mr. Servillo's voice and the interplay of the band. At times, the three musicians could sound like the Police, with brisk rhythms below spacious guitar chords. "Sentimento" used a slinky, understated beat and wah-wah, spy-movie guitar lines. "Storia d'Amore," a tale of underworld romance, went galloping along; "Abbassando" ("Descending") shifted from ballad to an understated cabaret bounce. The gentle syncopated guitar and brushed drums of "Aria di Te" looked to Brazilian pop.

Mr. Servillo and Mr. Mesolella performed "La Conversazione" as a sparse duet, with the guitar as wry punctuation and then as furious propulsion. Each song was finely plotted, with arcs of comedy and romance. For all their worldly knowledge, the songs had a heart.

Piccola Orchestra Avion Travel

About piccola orchestra avion travel.

Pop-jazz fusion outfit Piccola Orchestra Avion Travel was born in Caserta, Italy, in 1980. The group played the underground Italian rock scene for a number of years, even winning in the rock category at the prestigious Sanremo Festival in 1987. After experimenting with pop influences throughout the late '80s and early '90s, Avion Travel found a sound uniquely theirs, first captured in their 1992 release Bello Sguardo. Deftly weaving together gritty rock sounds with strings and film noir-esque musical themes, Avion Travel became a widely recognized creative voice in Italian music, and soon a contract with Sugar Music came their way. Opplà came out in 1993 and Finalmente Fiori was released in 1995 to great critical acclaim. The following year saw the debut performance of La Guerra Vista Dalla Luna, a one-act operetta that was subsequently performed in theaters all over the country. The next year the band took to the road on a pan-European tour with over 200 engagements that produced a live record, entitled Vivo di Canzoni. In 1998 the group won at Sanremo for the second time, presenting the song "Dormi e Sogna," which took the Critics and Jury Award for Best Song and Best Musical Arrangement, and issued an album, Cirano, that same year. They won the same award only two years later with the song "Sentimento," the same year as the release of Storie d'Amore. 2003's Poco Mossi Gli Altri Bacini and a 2004 best-of album called Per Come Ti Amo were followed by the band's first U.S. appearances through 2005. The musicians of Avion Travel would spend the next few years on other collaborations with limited success before reuniting in the studio to produce 2007's Danson Metropoli, a collection of Paolo Conte songs. The record was well received by audiences and critics alike, reaching number three on national charts. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
