Marco Marconi becomes a Doctor of Jazz!

Great news! At the end of last month, Marco Marconi had the final exams of his post grad in Jazz at the Consevatory of Music in Perugia, Umbria.

Playing and conducting a piece for octet that he composed himself called "Seven Friends" and a piece written by Amedeo Tommasi called "Zamboni 22", Marco also gave a talk about his thesis on the great Amedeo Tommasi himself. Amedeo has written many songs and theme music for films and tv series including films by Pupi Avati and more famously music for "the legend of the pianist of the ocean".

The panel of judges were unanimous in giving Marco top grades and Marco passed with 100%!

He is now officially a Dottore of Jazz!!!
