Roberto Badoglio, is a young (born 1984) yet very skilled bassist as well as an awesome composer. With a combination of creative and advanced approach to grooving, striking harmonic sense, phenomenal technique, and a strong melodic attitude he is now making a name for himself in instrumental contemporary music. His complex, articulate playing requires a bass with uncompromising levels of responsiveness, and Roberto is the perfect tester when dynamic performance is first and foremost"(E. Pasini, Wood & Tronics basses) He is working on his first solo album, featuring Steve Hunt (long time keyboardist with Allan Holdsworth) and drummer Marty Richards (Gary Burton), due for release in 2009 and he is also a member of the band “Oddflow” with guitarist Hara Garacci and drummer Marko Djordjevic. Oddflow recorded the cd ”Almost Even” during 2005 in Boston when Roberto was a student of Berklee college of Music. He performs with the experimental fusion band “Low Kick” (two basses and drums) with bass player Enrico Pasini and drummer Pablo De Biasi. During 2008 he started his collaboration with avant-garde Pop artist Adama in New York city. Roberto also played with artists such as Joanne Brackeen, George Zonce, Louis Cato, Paul Giordimaina, Matthew Garrison, Hal Crook, Elliot and Brad Mason and many others. He..s currently living in Berlin where he perform and compose music with the famous horn player Helmut Engel-Musehold.
Twenty-five year old Italian bassist Roberto Badoglio conveys strikingly impressive chops on this jazz-fusion based studio date, featuring venerable keyboardist Steve Hunt. In a loose sense, the bassist merges classic fusion with a modern uplift. Consequently, Badoglio has studied with present day bass heavyweights, Matthew Garrison and Dominique Di Piazza and attended Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music.
Badoglio resides as the lead musical component, sans a six-string guitarist, while trading zesty exchanges with Hunt's radiant Fender Rhodes ...
By PicoI find that much of jazz is taking someone else's tune and make it into something new. The trick is to do so without casting off the thing (or things) that made it such a great tune to cover to begin with. But who can take Joe Henderson's modal madness of “Inner Urge", update it with modern touches that leave the compositional brilliance shining through?Roberto Badoglio, for one, can.Badoglio is a hotshot electric ... read more

138 Assuming that nothing is static, yet
everything
old is new again, this record answers the question (if
anybody asked) that wonders how fusion would sound if it was
invented today. This young ‘un and his bass take the world
and electric elements and give them a weekend feel that
makes this a new part of the legacy in the making. Simply
tasty and accessible, it has something for your many moods
and will something good to all of them. A sure bet to make
throughout.

Here Badoglio is a hotshot electric bassist from
Trieste, Italy, and if you're into the kind of bass fusion
championed by Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller and Gary Willis,
you can easily get all wooshie by Badoglio's nimble but
melodic five-string bass. But fortunately for those yearning
for a little harmonic development to go with the technical
dazzling, Badoglio put in the work toward that end on
several of his originals from his debut album, issued just
last month.

LOVE ME
SOME JAZZ FUSION WITH THAT TRANQUIL KEYBOARD SCHNITT,
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! The music of bassist Roberto Badoglio will
be for those who love the sounds of Weather Report, Return
To Forever, and The Mahavishnu Orchestra. Re-Evaluation Time
(Space Rack) may sound of a time long ago, but it’s very
much of the now because the music you love is very much
timeless. It still sounds good because it gives you a good
feeling, and Badoglio knows all the right spots to hit with
his playing.
