Barba Negri Ziliani

BARBA NEGRI ZILIANI is the trio formed by Riccardo Barba (piano), Federico Negri (drums) and Nicola Ziliani (double bass). The group was born after years of collaboration in projects ranging from contemporary classical music through jazz and author's music. Combining the different experiences and studies of the three musicians, the trio was officially born in 2019 and released their first album TOO MANY KEYS in 2020. ORPHEUS IN THE UNDERGROUND is the second album by the trio BARBA NEGRI ZILIANI. After the first album and a sound research aimed at electronic experimentation and the contamination between structural elements of classical music, the sounds of rock music and the insertion of synthesizers and electronics all based on the classic formation of the piano trio, the group has crystallized in this new work the results of that research.

I started studying jazz with the electric bass with the bassplayer and organist Vito di Modugno and then double bass with Maurizio Quintavalle. Then I followed the Siena Jazz seminars in Italy, with Paolo Fresu, Furio di Castri, and Marco Tamburini
