Paolo Rustichelli is a futuristic visionary whose music is highly distinctive. Miles Davis, when he collaborated with Rustichelli near the end of his life, called the keyboardist's music “Total Music." Carlos Santana, having signed Paolo to his Guts and Grace label, has said: “Paolo Rustichelli's music is hauntingly beautiful...a romantic, mysterious soundtrack for life." Rustichelli recently reached the first position on the Nu Jazz MySpace artist list.
Rustichelli is not a jazz artist in the conventional sense of the term. He believes in making music that does not fit neatly into any one category. His creative objective entails the exploration of various genres in order to conceive something uniquely acroamatic and true to his vision.
AAJ Contributor Katrina-Kasey Wheeler caught up with Rustichelli to discuss his upcoming projects and to get the bona fide facts behind his work with Miles Davis and Carlos Santana.
