Nicola Corso

Nicola Corso is a NYC based bassist, composer and arranger. His personal approach and dynamic sound that blur the lines between jazz and classical music are informed by the intersection of different genres, showing his love for diversity. In addition to composing, Nicola is the band-leader of a 18-piece big band (Nicola Corso Jazz Orchestra) and a core member of few smaller bands.  

A former member of the BMI Jazz Composers Workshop, Nicola carries decades of experience in performance and instruction. Born in Campobasso, Italy, he first followed in his father’s footsteps by playing the trumpet and trained in classical and orchestral studies until the day he discovered jazz. That moment was pivotal for Nicola, who felt that jazz carried depth and genre-bending aspects never heard before. At age 19, Nicola picked up the electric bass and studied with some of the most renowned teachers of his region. He became an integral member of Blue Image, a band that won competitions for emerging groups in Italy. It was the beginning of a prodigious period for him, marked by a two-year stay in London where he was a former artist in residence at the Effra Hall and Downstairs (now Oliver’s Jazz Bar). He moved to New York City in 2015, now armed with international exposure and an upright bass. The vibrancy of New York, with its blending and clashing of cultures, has played directly into his music since then.
