Paoli's collaboration with Funk Off began in the summer of 2017 when they met in Vicchio di Mugello, the country of origin of Funk Off, on the occasion of the Etnica festival in which Paoli performed with the pianist Danilo Rea. In the summer of 2018 Paoli wanted to play at Umbria Jazz the first two songs arranged by Funk Off for him, Sapore di sale and La gatta. Since then, Funk Off have worked on other songs, Sassi, What are you, Heaven in a room and Senza Fine. Other original songs have been added, songs written in that same period, one of which is a homage to Sonny Rollins, Foxy which takes up the famous Doxy standard. The others are The Hidden Corner and Hyperreality.
