DESCRIPTION:
Marcello by Maurizio Minardi
From the album:
The Cook the Clown the Monk and the Accordionist.

The title is a parody of Peter Greenaway's 'The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover', a grotesque fresco of eccentric characters in a very elegant restaurant.
Baroque music, the Opera, contemporary Jazz, European folk and tarantella are the main ingredients of this album.

Maurizio, based in London, completed his studies in piano, organ and composition at the Conservatorio 'Martini' Bologna, Italy. He perfected his jazz studies through workshops with Barry Harris, Enrico Rava, Paolo Fresu, Danilo Rea and Simone Zanchini.
