Guido Mazzon

Created in Milan in 1946, Guido Mazzon were only available in music learning the clarinet, after that picking right up trumpet inside a brass strap and in the Music College of the city of Milan. In 1964, he started to play jazz inside a traditionalist college students’ music group, and from 1967 on he researched structure privately, while finding the freest types of jazz. In 1970, he founded the Gruppo Contemporaneo, which fascinated the younger and much more daring players from the Milan region: tenor Daniele Cavallanti, bassists Attilio Zanchi and Roberto Del Piano, pianist Gaetano Liguori, and drummer Filippo Monico. Their music was influenced by free of charge jazz, but its theatrical and ironic characteristics were near to the Dutch design of Western improvisation. In 1975, he performed inside a trio with bassist Roberto Bellatalla and drummer Toni Rusconi, then your group extended right into a quartet with Edoardo Ricci or Renato Geremia. Within the brass quartet, His Precarious Orchestra was mostly of the Italian groups to try out the Moers New Jazz Event in Germany, probably the most renowned display for cutting-edge jazz from the ’70s. The group was also a clear forerunner, actually in name, from the Italian Instabile Orchestra, which he’s a founding member, adding several pieces towards the repertoire. Mazzon offers long-standing collaborations with percussionist Andrea Centazzo and Mario Schiano. Even though many of his recordings aren’t yet on Compact disc, with Instabile colleague Alberto Mandarini on trumpet he documented Trumpet Hype Duo (Splasc(h)), where his biting but wealthy timbre and fast phrasing are spotlighted. With pianist Umberto Petrin and drummer Tiziano Tononi, also Instabile people, he used performing and reciting voices for Profumo della Libert? along with other Range (also on Splasc(h)), where his trumpet etches well-defined lines in the backdrop developed by piano, tone of voice, and tuba.
