Paolo Loveri trio feat. Pietro Condorelli

Active on the Belgian jazz scene since the mid-90s, Paolo Loveri has alreadỳ distinguished himself in various formations with Fabrice Alleman, Paolo Radoni, Victor da Costa and Guy Cabay. Over the years, his trio, made up of Benoît Vanderstraeten and Bruno Castellucci, has explored different facets of numerous personal compositions and developed a shared sound.

The repertoire is essentially made up of original compositions. It features an acoustic jazz ambience, but also pieces that are more in the vein of 'European jazz', with strong melodies and emotional colours tinged with world music. Backed by a solid, creative rhythm section, the group moves brilliantly between compositions and covers of jazz standards.

Born in Milan but originally from Caserta, Pietro Condorelli graduated in classical guitar and from DAMS, and has been performing professionally in Italy and abroad since 1980. He has collaborated with important representatives of international jazz such as Lee Konitz, Paolo Fresu, Franco Cerri, Giulio Capiozzo, Gary Bartz, George Cables, Jimmy Wood, Fabrizio Bosso, Charles Tolliver and Bob Mover, making him one of Italy's leading jazz guitarists. From 1994 to 1996 he was a permanent member of the renowned jazz and progressive rock group Area. In 1997 he won the "Top jazz" critics' referendum (Musica Jazz) as best new talent. In 2011, he won first prize - in the 'jazz guitar' category - in the Jazzit Award 2011, the competition organised each year by the music magazine Jazzit.
