| Claudio is graduated in percussion instruments and his artistic career has followed two directions both very binding: the classical music one and the avant-garde jazz music one, two worlds that, in spite of a long tradition, have always had some difficulties to approach, so that usually classical musicians hardly venture in the world of jazz music, and even seldom in other “minor” worlds such as Blues, Rock and Pop music.
Using voice, percussion, synthesizers and guitars, Italian composer/percussionist Claudio Scolari blends jazz, blues, and world music textures to create an album of dramatic musical landscapes. Scolari's work is intricately composed, highly original, and distinctly personal - all qualities that mark steps forward in musical innovation.
