Bassi-Bravo Duo

Italian version

Aldo Bassi, trumpet
Alessandro Bravo, piano

The duo was formed in 2005 based on the idea of following different musical path. Besides original music, the repertoire includes American standard of jazz, pieces of classical authors such as Bach, Bartok, Debussy arranged in jazz. The Duo offers an interesting interpretation of the work of Enrico Pieranunzi, a great modern jazz artist.
Currently, Bassi-Bravo Duo presents a repertoire of original songs that stylistically approach both the Europe and the American jazz, trying to follow the transformation that jazz music has been going through in recent years.
