Primary Instrument: Bass, acoustic
In January 2005, ZONE was chosen among over a 1000 other artists from 20+ countries to showcase on the 24/01/05;Live Upstairs at Midem at the Palais des Festivals. On this jazz world evening, an enthusiastic music industry audience and ZONE made it a night to remember, just ask around those who were there. Whos s is ZONE? Enzo Torregrossa AKA ZONE, is among the very best modern jazz players in the world. Enzo has won a Globo D'Oro and the Italian prize Nastro D'Argento with his film score for Italian director Gabriele Salvatores films, as well as written numerous works for Italian and French TV stations. And, lucky for us, the Italian bass player, who has performed alongside masters Dizzie Gillespie and Kenneth Jackson, is back in action. His first album, 'MADRUGADA' (dawn in Brazilian Portuguese), is a delightful collection of beautifully arranged electronic nu jazz. On MADRUGADA, ZONE explores his newly found identity on technology mixing it with trademark live arrangements, cleverly mounding contemporary jazz into dance culture. On his second work ‘GIMALI’ (2009), ZONE explores the various aspects of today’s jazz sound among tradition, fusion and dance. The output is true contemporary jazz dancefloor music. Among guest musicians on the album are Robert Lee and Annie Rock on vocals and Gherardo Catanzaro on piano and keyboards. During the last two years ZONE has been working on his last album with Robert Lee and Heloisa Lourenço , METADE, characterized by nu-jazz acoustic lounge sounds. Check it out!
