Felice Clemente

Born: August 9, 1974

Felice Clemente—saxophonist, clarinetist, composer, conductor, bandleader, and educator—has been described by Enzo Siciliano (La Repubblica) as "the finest young Italian saxophonist" and by Cadence Magazine (USA) as "a talent destined to make jazz history."

Born in Milan in 1974, he developed a passion for music at an early age, inspired by his grandfather—a clarinet master—and went on to graduate with top honors from the G. Verdi Conservatory in Milan under the guidance of Maestro Tessari.

As a clarinetist, he achieved top rankings in several competitions: the "Premio Ispra" International Music Competition (Varese) in 1991; the "Vito di Lena" National Clarinet Competition in Segni (Rimini) in 1994; and the T.I.M. International Music Tournament in Erba (Como) in 1997.
