Rocco Bruno
SaxophonistSaxophonist, arranger and composer Rocco BRUNO has made his mark by merging a traditional jazz approach with an all-encompassing modernism that embraces song, rhythm and a strong sense of funky, soul, R & B and Blues. Rocco is basically self-taught, he never really took to other methods. He studied big band orchestration with guitarist Filippo Daccò and has worked and played with various groups, bands and music genres. This wide variety of experience has proved useful for acquiring knowledge of music and a personal style. As a sax player, he is versatile and has a good root soul in R & B and funk. Jazz music is his "passion" for the possibilities it offers to explore, to improvise and mix rhythms. Rocco can adapt to different musical situations and is ready to collaborate with musicians and ensembles playing jazz, fusion, funk, latin-salsa, rock and R & B anywhere in the world. He has a fair amount of recording studio session experience and plays both soprano and alto saxophone in addition to tenor with which he finds his fullest expression. He is drawn to everything which has rhythm, humour and vitality and his natural habitat is funk, African and Latin American music, especially that of Brazil.
