Paolo Fresu

At the start from the ’80s, trumpeter Paolo Fresu attended the Siena Summer Jazz Workshops and amazed Enrico Rava along with his creativity, skill, and technique. On the next a decade, he became a significant player within the Italian picture, first along with his personal quintet (that is still heading), after that branching out in a number of tasks. After completing his Conservatory research, he became a instructor at the same Jazz Workshops in Siena; he lives fifty percent the entire year in Paris, from where he coordinates the main Amount of time in Jazz Event he produced in his hometown. His discography figures an amazing 130 game titles since he’s been asked to try out all over European countries in a number of tasks, from modern music to right jazz, from dance to jazz/folk fusions. His design is dependant on the traditional Mls Davis sound from the ’50s, and the lineup of his quintet is normally similar to Davis’ group, with exceptional tenor Tino Tracanna. They mainly play originals as well as the music moves fresh and participating, never only imitation. Reside in Montpellier (1990) and Ossi di Seppia offering Gianluigi Trovesi, both on Splasc(h), are great representations of the various areas of the group; Tones of Chet can be an affectionate tribute with Rava on Label Bleu (2001) offering new piano skill Stefano Bollani. Sonos ‘E Memoria (Action 2001) and Metamorfosi (BMG 1999) are respectively motivated by Sardinian musical traditions and European traditional Richard Strauss, their achievement being proof his commitment for an open up musical aesthetic. Furthermore to Fresu’s quintet, he performed in an uncommon duo with bassist Furio di Castri, this became the PAF trio by adding Antonello Salis on piano and accordion, and another trio with British pianist John Taylor (Contos, Egea 1995), while his Western european quartet contains French-Vietnamese guitarist Nguyên Lê (Stories From Viêtnam, Action, 1995).
