In this last project he is accompanied by the talentus guitar player Riccardo Chiarion, by the expert bass player Stefano Senni and by the "newyorker" drummer Tommaso Cappellato.

The repertoire consists of original compositions. Most of them are tributes to the sax players who have most influenced his musical language (For Joe dedicated to Lovano, Uau to Konitz, Steps to Coltrane, Oxyd to Rollins), in searching a mix of tradition, modernity and personal sounds, timbre and atmospheres...

In 2008 has been published for Caligola Records the cd "Watch your step".
