Pino Russo
Born in ’57, he is an eclectic and much talented guitarist graduated in Classical Guitar and with an academic degree in both Jazz and Biology. He has been nicknamed “A Six strings orchestra” for his unique ability in using harmonization. During his long career he developed a deep tone color method, exploring different musical languages between jazz, bossa-nova, contemporary, Mediterranean music and Bach's counterpoint technique.

“It’s the thought of Jim Hall that pops up in your mind
when you get to listen
to a poetic, minimalist and virtuoso guitarist such as
Pino Russo, who won
(…) the 7th edition of Moncalieri Jazz Incroci Sonori
Award, in 2008.
You think of Jim Hall, for sure but i guess you also get
to think about a
refined, sensible and cultured pianist like John Lewis,
whose discreetness was
his own peculiarity both in his solitary and meditative
episodes and in his
recordings with the Modern Jazz Quartet.
(…) allows u sto get to know a musician who owns uncommon
technical skills
and a jazz feel so deep and clever it implies necessarily
a long live
experience (not only in solo) on the Jazz scene”
