Stefano Scodanibbio

Hey, isn't that dude on here? Nice guy, from what I've seen. Great player, too.

 

I met Stefano when he came to Tokyo a few years ago. He was only here for 2 performances with a large group of Italian performance artists. A big multimedia event, pictures, music, dance, the works. Anyway, because of the circumstances, he needed to get a bass here, so I helped him find one to borrow.

I went to see one of the performances, and he was fantastic. A great player, and a true gentleman. He said he wished I could see him do something more focused on music, rather than all the other stuff, but it was fun, if a little abstract. Anyway, as a little thank you for my help he gave me a copy of The Voyage That Never Ends. It was very different from the stuff I usually get into, but it was great, since it kind of helped me to get an appreciation of that European artistic mind/feeling. I hadn't really ever been able to dig it before. Anyway, worth checking out, for sure. The guy is a fountain of ideas.

+1. I'm not interested in rumors, speculation and hearsay.

 

Heh, point taken guys. I guess hindsight is 20/20.

 

Have you heard Maurizio Rolli too?

He is a big fan of Jaco ....
I higly recomend his tribute album ...

 

Stefano is pretty great. There are several recordings of his I need to pick up.

 

I saw him solo in L.A. a couple of years back. It was freakishly cool. He has such wonderful skill and dynamic contrast.

I read on his site that he is touring the U.S. in October of this year...email tom@elisionfields.com for details.
