Luca Dell'Anna

Born: October 10, 1975

Italian pianist and composer Luca Dell’Anna was born on October 10, 1975 in Ferrara, a historical city with strong ties to jazz. He grew up listening to his father’s extensive record collection including Count Basie, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Harry Belafonte and blues recordings together with Italian folk music.

His father also had a classical collection and Dell’Anna quickly fell in love with the music of J.S. Bach. Another important influence was Dell’Anna’s grandfather, who played the accordion and stressed the importance of tradition and melody.
