Italo-Australian saxophonist Tommaso Starace returns with a new line up featuring some of UK's most exciting jazz musicians.
Tommaso has performed in many established jazz clubs and festivals around the world including The Blue Note - Milano, London Jazz Festival, Brecon Jazz Festival, & Luzern Jazz Festival.
Tommaso has collaborated with many great jazz artists including Dave O’Higgins, Paolo Fresu, Kenny Wheeler & Fabrizio Bosso. The Quintet will perform a variety of music from past to present composers including Charlie Parker, Chick Corea, Michel Petrucciani as well as Ennio Morricone, & Stevie Wonder.
Starace is an increasingly individual musician, a highly accomplished technician with a gift for melody but with an additional facility to see ‘the big picture’. – The Jazzman Review
