About Me

My Jazz Story

Jazz was always a music made of connections and relations. A music and a way of life, open to new experiences. Jazz evolved through the decades as a dynamic process, trying to increase the inner meaning. If you deny this approach today, "your jazz" is dead! And you play what Jazz "was supposed to be" in the same way Baroque music is. Jazz is alive and kicking, but it's not anymore just what my grandpa thought it was. Including and transcending the past, paying attention to what's around, looking to the future. This is the goal. This is Jazz, and not only today. It was always like that. Louis Armstrong docet.
