Gianni Coscia
Someone has said that
today there is no jazz without an accordion. What they mean is that
although it had a difficult rapport with jazz in the past, today the
accordion is in vogue as never before, especially when jazz meets
traditional music (particularly Italian or French). Gianni Coscia is
one of the pioneers of all this - his “Tributo a Frumento”, a homage
to the folklore of Piedmont (he is from Alessandria) dates from the
1950s., As well as having worked with many of the country’s finest
singers, he is one of the leaders of the movement of musicians taking
an Italian approach to jazz. He has been influenced by Gorni Kramer
and Peppino Principe, but above all by his northern roots. Coscia has
made a duo recording for Egea with Gianluigi Trovesi (an experience
they repeated on ECM) and another, featuring a larger group, called
“La Bottega”.
