Fast becoming an important name on the Italian jazz scene, the Marco Marconi Trio plays jazz standards and original compositions. Combining influences from the past with contemporary ideas, creating swing in a timeless way. Music from the heart making smooth jazz for today...
Originally, Marco composed many of his pieces for solo piano but having met fellow Italians, Mauro Giorgeschi and Giulio Angori, the music gradually took on a new form and in 2007 the Marco Marconi Trio evolved.
The Trio had great response from audiences around Italy and launched their first CD, Keep the Way Clear in February 2010, to great acclaim selling copies worldwide, in particular in Japan.
The Trio took part in two international competitions, the Mediterranean Jazz Contest (Elba Island) in July 2009 and the Barga Jazz Contest (Tuscany) in August 2010, both times finishing among the last three finalists.
In its fourth year (2011), the Trio changed formation and the line up now includes the exceptional double bass player Graziano Brufani and the hugely talented and experienced Alberto Argirņ on drums.
Summer 2011 saw the Trio recording a new CD called "Foolish Things" which will be available for release later in 2011.
