GeGè Telesforo



Singer, instrumentalist, composer, producer but also journalist, television and radio personality, GeGè Telesforo represents a professional figure of a thousand facets, the best of the living jazz tradition in Italy. GeGè's artistic endeavors started when his incredible vocal talent was discovered by the italian media celebrity Renzo Arbore. Over the years he has developed his own personal style of "scat" renewing a particular form of vocal improvisation almost forgotten abroad and which never existed in Italy. In the mid 80's, GeGè put together the best musicians of the Italian Jazz and R&B scene, performing a renewal of old jazz standards and his original compositions using breathtaking arrangements and moving harmonies. Thanks to his association with Ben Sidran, pianist, singer, writer and producer, GeGè recorded for GoJazz Records in important studios with the most recognized international musicians. His undisputed talent has been exported around the world playing his part with The Go Jazz All Stars, performing with such Jazz and Funk “Masters” as Jon Hendricks, Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry, DeeDee Bridgewater, Phil Woods, Bob Malach, Georgie Fame, Bob Berg,Clyde Stubblefield, Mike Mainieri, Bob Rockwell, Richard Davis, Phil Upchurch, Ricky Peterson, Frank McComb,… For sometime GeGè Telesforo, leading bands as PureFunkLive and Groovinators, has focused his musical evolution on aggressive funk style, in which jazz elements and improvisations come together to form a rigorous and unmistakable rhythm dominated by groove.
