Inside My Space 24: Alessandro Bianchini on Vibraphone, Jazz & Birdbox Records

In this in-depth interview, I’m joined by Alessandro Bianchini, Italian vibraphonist and marimba player, and a recording artist for Birdbox Records—a small Italian label devoted entirely to all-analog recording. Alessandro’s album My Space 24 was recently included in Audiophilia’s Recordings of the Year, and we begin by discussing what that recognition means to him as an artist. From there, we explore his musical journey in detail: classical training, discovering jazz, learning composition, and the influences that shape his sound. We also dive deep into: • The Italian jazz scene • His relationship with Lorenzo Vela and Birdbox Records • Why analog recording is so important to his vision • The musical and conceptual differences between 10/5 and My Space 24 • Future recording plans and upcoming performances in Europe and the U.S. If you’re interested in modern jazz, vibraphone and marimba, or how contemporary musicians are still making true all-analog records, this conversation offers a rare inside look. 🎶 Alessandro Bianchini’s music is available via Birdbox Records in Europe and Bellisariosonic in the US Audiophilia Review for My Space 24 https://www.audiophilia.com/reviews/2025/7/11/alessandro-bianchinimy-space-24-birdbox-records Related Video Alessandro Bianchini: My Space 24 - AAA Audiophile Jazz Vinyl Triumph https://youtu.be/2uJZRyNkGW0 Alessandro Bianchini on Birdbox Records | Stunning All-Analog Audiophile Jazz https://youtu.be/U2o4-uu02d4 To purchase: In EU: https://www.birdboxrecords.com In US: https://bellisariosonic-arts.square.site/ #AlessandroBianchini #MySpace24 #BirdboxRecords #AudiophileJazz #AllAnalog #JazzInterview #Vibraphone #Marimba #ModernJazz #ItalianJazz #Audiophilia #pressingmatters 00:00 Introduction 02:14 Beginnings In Music 06:43 Classical Influences 08:57 Jazz Influences 10:11 Learning Composition 12:31 Composing 10/5 and Cape Town 14:25 Different Approaches 19:15 The Jazz Scene In Italy 23:01 Birdbox and Lorenzo Vela 27:07 Thoughts On Analog 29:32 Future Recording 31:18 Live Appearances 33:21 Availability of LPs 38:34 Conclusion
