We welcome back the magnificent piano talent of Marco Marconi, playing in his excellent trio line-up and celebrating the success of his latest album New Roads on 33 Records.
Marco is an accomplished, classically-trained jazz pianist, who grew up in the breathtaking region of Umbria in Italy, and made the life-changing decision to move permanently to the UK in 2012 to pursue his musical career. He made the right choice.
His skill as a composer is so naturally distinctive and seemingly effortless, he’s earned a reputation as a class act on the British festival circuit, the Fazioli Concert Hall in Venice and the buzzing London Jazz Club scene.
His trio’s latest album New Roads was recorded live here at The Bear Club, with special guest artist, the internationally acclaimed saxophonist Max Ionata.
Marco describes the new album as, ‘a mix of original compositions and jazz standards arranged by me… this album is, as always, full of variety with pieces inspired by some of my favourite musicians such as Art Tatum, Brad Mehldau, Michel Camilo, Chick Corea, Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder and Bach (just to name a few).’
Established and highly respected artists Tom Farmer (double bass) and Emiliano Caroselli (drums) join Marco and Max to create an exciting and unique sound, playing original compositions and new arrangements of jazz standards.
“Marco is a breath of fresh air for dedicated Jazz fans everywhere”
“Marco Marconi is a remarkable musician possessed of rare talent… catch him if you can, you are in for a rare treat!”
