The group’s newcomer Giulio Carmassi alone will play 12 instruments, as well will perform as a vocalist.  

An audience member says: “I saw them 3 weeks ago in NYC 4th row, I've seen the PMG about a dozen times but these guys blew the roof off of the building. I was absolutely taken aback by them.”

The excellent Pat Metheny on guitar!

“An all-in, no-holds-barred full-band excursion … Each of these musicians as soloists are also acting with a compositional ear toward improvisation. Use of space, development of ideas, melody, and even beautiful tone production all factor in to some of the shared sensibilities of the members of the Unity Group.” – Metroland
