Description

88 is a polyhedric musician whose repertoire includes jazz, ambient, blues, ragtime, neoromantic, minimal, classical and early jazz music of the 20s and 30s, also his own music in experimental jazz style.
He plays works of names like Chilly Gonzales, Michael Nyman, Enya, Giovanni Allevi, Ludovico Einaudi, Scott Joplin, Dave Grusin, Dave Brubeck as well as the most famous classical composers, and his service is ideal for corporate events, vine tasting events, weddings cocktails, civil ceremonies and receptions in London an allover UK.
He performed in UK and overseas, collecting great succe ... ss and being extimated as a very communicative and charismatic musician.
Great worldwide personalities such as Héctor Ulises Passarella, Rodion Shchedrin, Frederic Rzewski, Yoshiko Okada and others have appreciated him both as a fine composer and a pianist, with an excellent consideration of his talent.
Winner of ‘On Piano Creativity’ Permanent International Contest and scholarship in 2000, from 2015 he is also an appointed juror of the WPTA International Piano Competition (member of the Alink-Argerich Foundation).
He studied at Conservatoires of Fermo and Milan, Incontri col Maestro, Academy of Imola and École de Musique Mozart in Bruxelles with the several great masters.
Numerous experiences with improvisation and experimentations in various genres like modern classic, ambient, jazz and psychedelic led him to create a brand new style he called 'Molecular Jazz'. This colorful, rhythmical and highly contaminated music treats genres such as acid-jazz, deep house, lounge, fusion, funk, latin and grunge as they were classic large form genres.
The same that Chopin, Janacek, Bartok and Kodaly did with folk music of their own respective countries, yet now the 'country' is the world itself, with its huge variety of popular music genres.

88 The Pianist - Pianist / Keyboardist - Hanwell, London Event Location: The Boat, Canary Wharf, London Event Type: Wedding launch 19th July 2014

88 played during my wedding launch on the boat at Canary Wharf. His music was absolutely perfect and created a magical atmosphere. He worked hard for weeks to be able to create the playlist that was in tune with my musical requests (although I was a bit picky). I appreciated his work, you were fantastic. Thank You!
