Pino started playing
guitar very young in his native Argentina inspired by The Beatles, Jimi
Hendrix, Wes Montgomery and Ravi Shankar. Early on the heart felt passion
and spirit in his playing acquired thousands of fans throughout South
America as a member of the ground breaking prog-rock group Crucis.
In the late seventies
he moved to Los Angeles and made it his home for most of the next two
decades. There he recorded, performed and studied jazz extensively, his
main teachers having being Joe Diorio and chord-melody master Ted Greene.
Diorio, with whom he explored the deepest & freest aspects of jazz improvisation,
became his mentor, which led to numerous dates in both the U.S. and South
America performing as a duo.
In California, Pino
played and recorded with musicians such as Dianne Reeves, Joe Farrell,
Kenny Kirkland, John Patitucci, Bob Magnusson, John Pisano, Herb Alpert,
Robben Ford, Jimmy Haslip and many others.
Although for the last
20 years Pino's main focus has been jazz, his eclectic taste and wide
interests which include East Indian and Western Classical music, have
led him to diverse and exciting musical situations.
His duo guitar album,
Metropolis, with composer Daniel Goldberg, which featured mostly acoustic
guitars and ethnic percussion was pre-nominated for a Grammy in the Jazz
Category 1986.
Some of his work throughout
the years includes co-writing and performing music for the Mark Frost/David
Lynch FOX TV Series AMERICAN CHRONICLES.
At the moment, most
of his time is spent in Buenos Aires. Some of the most exciting musical
experiences of the last decade include performing contemporary classical
music on electric guitar at the world famous Teatro Colon Opera House
as part of an IRCAM based project consisting on a 16 piece chamber group
and electronics playing live to
Fritz Lang's 1926 silent film, 'Metropolis'.
During the last few
years Pino has also been been touring as guitarist & musical director
for Argentine singer-songwriter Gabriela exploring the endless possibilities
of her multi-faceted music with an ever-evolving constellation of musicians
such as bassist Viktor Krauss, Abe Laboriel, violinist Jesse Zubot and
many others performing at some of the most prestigious venues and jazz
festivals such as the Montreal International Jazz Festival and The Skirball
Cultural Center in Los Angeles among other prestigious North American
stages.
A clinician and former
instructor at G.I.T.
( Guitar Institute of Technology/ Musician's Institute), Grove School
of Music & Jazzmasters Workshops in California, Marrone has also been
contributing instructional articles on jazz guitar for Guitar
Player magazine for over a decade.
His recording as a
leader, UNDER THE INFLUENCE, features the music of J.Coltrane, T.Monk,
B.Strayhorne, A.Scriabin and others in a variety of trios, duos and solos
with Joe Diorio, John Pisano, Bob Magnusson, Putter Smith and Dick Weller.
Pino is currently
living in Argentina and divides his time between his homeland and North
America where he still often plays and teaches.
"Pino is unique, he knows where the truth lies in music,
he is conscious of the dimension where everything is
perfect and always strives in that direction."-
Joe
Diorio
"Pino
plays the guitar marvelously! Great looseness and
freedom.the way I would like to play."-
Jim Hall
