Philip Gelb, Shakuhachi and pietro lusvardi, bass
Jazz improvised concert.
A unique combination of shakuhachi and string bass, combining two very different musical traditions comes together in an improvised setting.
Pietro Lusvardi, born in Lugano Switzerland, studied music at the Conservatorio of Guiseppe Verdi in Milan(Italy) and earned his degree in 1997 with special emphasis in the contrabass. Since then, his Contrabass has carried him around the globe and led to performances with numerous musicians and orchestras, including the Romanian Philharmonic Oltenia of Craiova, the Cluy Napoca Orchestra and various prestigious orchestras throughout Italy and Great Britian.
In conjunction with Maximilian Brooks, Lusvardi founded the award winning contemporary jazz ensemble Gatto Marte in 1994.. Lusvardi has recorded a compilation of solo performances entitled Progetto Contrabasso .
