Luca di Luzio's Music Projects

1) Luca di Luzio - GLOBETROTTER

Jazzenatico Festival with Jimmy Haslip, Marvin "Smitthy" Smith, Max Ionata

Globetrotter is the new jazz album by Luca di Luzio as a guitarist and composer, produced and played by Jimmy Haslip.

7 original tunes by Luca di Luzio and 2 jazz standards for a travel through modern jazz, funk and latin music together with a jazz band of the following great musicians:

Luca di Luzio – guitar
Max Ionata – tenor saxophone
Jimmy Haslip – bass
George Whitty – keyboard
Dave Weckl – drums

This is I have been playing music for 30 years and after so much time I have decided to tell you my music history through 7 original tunes and two traditional standards. They are seven stories, talking about different moments in my life, about people who have been close to me, and about people who unfortunately passed away.

It is not easy to talk about myself and to look in my deep feelings, but sometimes a musician needs to stop, to look back and leave a sign of the route so far.

The easiest way to do that for me is through melody, harmony and rhythm.

My travel mates in this project are Jimmy Haslip, as producer and bass player, Dave Weck on drums, George Whitty on keyboards and Max Ionata on Tenor saxophone.

2) Luca di Luzio Blue'(s) Room Jazz Trio

Blue'(s) Room Trio Live in Ravenna

Classic organ trio with sound of the 60's, with jazz blues guitar, Hammond organ and drums, like in Grant Green's, Kenny Burrell's and Jack Mc Duff's organ trio.

Luca di Luzio – guitar
Sam Gambarini – Hammond organ
Max Ferri – drums

The sound this band creates is energetic and "bluesy" based on the classic "organ trio" sound of 1960s, guitarists like Grant Green, Kenny Burrell and organists like Jimmy Smith and Jack Mc Duff.
The repertory bases itself on the great standards of Jazz tradition and on exclusively rearranged, modern jazz classics.
