Since first moving to New York from Italy in 1991, he's solidified himself as a premier presence in the jazz world with solo releases including 1999’s This World Upside Down, 2004's Through My Eyes and 2010's Inner Dance. Encompassing interpretations of six classic songs as well as six originals, he paints an intimate portrait of his personal history, and he also provides a glimpse at the future. After releasing the highly acclaimed collaboration Another Country with Cassandra Wilson, he began working on Right Now in early 2012 with a fresh perspective. However, on his latest record, the gap is effectively bridged as his impeccable chops meet irresistible melodies. It's only natural given his legacy of diverse musical collaborations-which spans writing, producing and playing for everybody from Cassandra Wilson, Dead Prez, Q Tip, Foxy Brown, K’Naan, Melanie Fiona, Tupac and Jennifer Lopez to Whitney Houston and Gipsy Kings. The world-renowned Italian jazz guitar virtuoso, producer, and songwriter successfully strikes a delicate balance between jazz and pop. Creator of a beautiful fusion of musical worlds on his latest full- length solo album, Right Now.
