Formed in 1993, the Setola di Maiala-Musische Non Convenzionali label is home to a network of independent musicians, most of them improvisers, from all over Italy. With 79 album releases behind them, the Setola family have spawned a host of meetings, friendships and collaborations, organised two mini-festivals, performed at the 48th Venice Biennale and participated in international events including Montreal's Off Fest and the Italian Jazz Rebels festival.
