Riccardo Zegna Quartetto

Bornin Turin in 1946, Zegna studied piano at the Paganini Conservatory in Genoa, spent a few years giving classical concerts, and then dedicated himself to jazz in 1976. Since then he has worked with many important Italian and international jazz musicians including Harry Edison, Lee Konitz and Dave Liebman. He has appeared at important festivals such as Umbria Jazz, Sanremo and Nice, and toured in Germany and Russia. He is also a teacher at the music seminars held in Siena each year. In 1995 he was pianist and arranger on a recording of Gershwin’s musical “American in Paris”. Among his recent works are a solo recording entitled “Andalusia” and a live trio CD called “Green Dolphin Street”. He has just completed a recording of his “Piccoli Valzer” project for Egea.
