- About Me:
- Gianni Bardaro, with his intense and original playing/composing, has been described several times as an artist particularly able to create a delicious mix of overflowing energy and vibrant melody at the same time. Inspired by the dynamic power of sounds, he is always unpredictable, whether in a meditative mood or a playful one, inviting the odience to keep ears wide open and to live in the escaping moment.
Born in Formia, Italy and based in Copenhagen, Denmark since 2002, he started to play the saxophone at the age of 11, behind the steps of his father, amatorial drummer. Since then Gianni dedicated himself completely to music. He is educated both in classical music (Conservatorio O. respighi, Latina, diploma 10/10 year: 1995; teacher: Mauro Zazzarini) and in Jazz Music (Conservatorio San Pietro a Majella, Napoli, diploma 10/10 year: 2002; teacher: Bruno Tommaso).
In 2002/03, guest student at the Rytmisk Musikkonservatorium (RMC) of Copenhagen, as a winner of a scholarship obtained from GAI “Association for Young Italian Artists”. In the RMC of Copenhagen, Bardaro studied with well-known Danish musicians such as Lars Møller, Jasper Bodilsen, Morten Lund, Niels Thybo, Christina Von Bülow, Thomas Agergaar, Birthe Skou.
Gianni is performing professionally since the age of 14, going across many countries like Italy, Spain, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, Greece, Tunisia, Colombia, collaborating and recording with several well-known jazz musicians. He performed as additional member for the “Philharmonic Orchestra of Plovdiv and for world-known composers such as Goffredo Petrassi and Roberto De Simone.
In Denmark, Bardaro had the opportunity to play also for the Danish Royal Family and the national Danish TV channel DR2.
In 2001, he founded the Project Sinestetic Jazz, playing mostly his own compositions. One of them, Song for Dicembre, has been licensed to the English Philips. The jazz ballad was distributed from the Philips company in September 2001, in 20.000 copies all over Europe.
In 1999, Gianni won the national jazz competition “Baronissi 1999” with the “Afro Jazz quartet" in the category New talented Musicians and obtained the second place in the same competition in 2001 in the professional category with the Jam Orchestra
Right now, Bardaro is also very active as composer and performer, in other sectors of the music industry. He composes, arranges and records for different projects of electronic music, collaborating with an internacional network of artists and labels such as l´Escalier Srl (Warner Bros Chappel Italy)" and MODERNactivism records by “Italian Association of Electronic Culture”
SINESTEIC JAZZ is an open and travelling modern jazz project, created and lead by the Italian saxophone player GIANNI BARDARO. The international quintet (ITALY/DENMARK/NORWAY) is a "Clear example of new jazz vibes" and offers a young, fresh but precise sound with a clear understanding of its musical direction. The band is based in Copenhagen and it has been blessed with very well attended concerts and extremely positive reviews both at home and abroad. The music is primarily original compositions and arrangements by Gianni Bardaro. Synaesthesia – cf. the name – means a mixture of sensory inputs, and this is exactly, what this is all about. Can one taste a colour? Can one touch a scent? Can one see the sound of the music? Gianni Bardaro with "Sinestetic Jazz" translates the synaesthetic experience into delicious jazz music with shadows of latin, mediterranean and scandinavian sounds.
CD REVIEWS
* "Gianni Bardaro is an excellent musician, soloist, composer and arranger. His music is fresh, exciting and yet mellow and groovy. His group is tight and cohesive, complimenting each other throughout the CD. All the compositions will take you on a trip and adventure of musical delight. Any avid fan of jazz will be greatly entertain with this CD"
CARLOS GARNETT (M.Davis,C.Mingus,F.Hubbard, A.Blakey)
* "Italian composer and saxophonist Gianni Bardaro just released "Overflow", an album full of surprises for modern jazz fans. Featuring musicians from Italy, Norway and Denmark the quintet has built a distinct jazz vocabulary based around Gianni Bardaro's compositions. Balancing between lyricism and swing the album has plenty of memorable moments. The sax-piano-trumpet interactions backed by a bold bass-drum section is clearly a winning formula either drawing melodic lines on Song For Dicembre or blending energetic sax-trumpet grooves on Supernova Latina".
STEPHEN BOCIOACA (JazzWorldQuest - Canada)
* "The Italian saxophone player Gianni Bardaro is an artist who likes to integrate all the emoctional and material vibes of his creation (in this case the Jazz) in order to generate results which go over the simple empatia and applause: energy that flows freely..."
CAROLINA PROANO WEXMAN - La Prensa national newspaper - Panama

MEMBER NOTES
Dear Tamm E:
Just a note to tell you that it is nice to read about you!!!
You share so much great info about others and about the music, but nice to know that you are WAILIN' yourself and getting appreciation!!
Global Jazz Network is a really important way for all of us to keep hooked up and informed and to SLOWLY BUT SURELY SPREAD THE MESSAGE AND THE PHILOSOPHY of what Jazz is in its many different forms and what the styles are/is all about.
Just played for Paquito's honoring and received gold medal
John Faddis, save Brubeck, James moody and a bunch of KILLER YOUNG players and we all played and spoke about Paquito and jazz and all fine music
and Roberta Gamborini, who was excellent.
wish you had been there!
Through you, Donald Harrison hooked me up with Pittsburgh Jazz info and I feel like i am living there just reading about all the great happenings.
As Fall is here, I am back to my normal insane schedule, but wanted to write you back BEFORE The STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS goes into effect. I am my own secretary, so I am dedicated but SLOW!
And I can't fire myself as my own secretary or I might get hit with an Age Discrimination Lawsuit (in case I decided to sue myself for clerical incompetence).
As of this moment, a new documentary film is being made about me, to be released a few months after my 80th birthday, which is coming up next year Nov. 17, 2010. (12 months from now).
The film will end with the videoing of the big 80th birthday bash at Symphony Space in NYC and then have snippets of films from the past, with all kinds of fun stuff from the 50's thru today.
It will be called "David Amram: The First 80 Years"
Fortunately, I don't have to edit the hundreds of hours of footage or do new music the score, since the film maker, Larry Kraman is also the founder of Newport Classics recordings and knows all my symphonic as well as operatic, theater, film and jazz and world music work, so I am in good hands!!
The same people at Newport Classics Recordings are also making a Spoken Word series for I-Tunes, with me reading from my three books Vibrations, Offbeat: Collaborating with Kerouac and Upbeat: Nine Lives of a Musical Cat.
And they are also recording some of my chamber music compositions and a new jazz record,
Next Spring my opera "12th Night", with libretto by Joe Papp (all words of Shakespeare), is having its eighth production and being FILMED!! Even most dead composers aren't that lucky!!!
This last five weeks I have appeared all over the country at concerts of my music, conducting and playing, doing spoken word with music, jazz, folk and world music festivals, film festivals and readings from my books.
Just the first week of October, I played Lowell Celebrates Kerouac festival in Lowell Mass, then the at midnight , following my last concert there , drove all night to Lagaurda Airport to catch the early Sunday mornng flight for the annual Farm Aid Concert in St Louis, where i played with Willie Nelson's band. The next morning (Monday the 5th , I flew bck to NYC in tme for my monthly concert at Cornelia Street in Greenwich Village.
The next night (Tuesday the 6th) the memorial at Symphony Space for Frank Mccourt, and the next day Wednesday the 7th) the celebration of the new authorized biography of Thelonious Monk with members of his family and musicians I have known since I first arrived in NYC in 1955!!
The 11th i flew off to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates,( i got at least get a few hours sleep) and tried to catch up on over 200 e-mails during the 13 hour flight, before arriving there and performing a concert of global music in conjunction with the score I composed for Teri McLuhan's new documentary feature film The Frontier Ghandi.
Then back in the USA in time to do programs centered around a performance of my Saxophone concerto Ode to Lord Buckley, in Loudoun Virginia ..
Then I went off to Toronto Nov 1st for a concert and appearance at the Diaspora Film Festival .
Now i am back at home hiding out composing and writing!
I am starting my fourth book "David Amram: The First 80 Years", (the same name as the new doc film being made about me), which will be finished at the end of next year and will end, like the film, with the monstro birthday bash concert for my Big 80... 12 months from now....(Nov 17 2010) in New York.
And every day, still finding time to continue composing a new orchestral work, having been doing it while on the run, and now every minute when I can hide out at the Farm in between travels.
And performing whenever possible with my three kids, each of whom have their own bands.
So as the BIG 80 approaches twelve months from now, (2010) while I may be still shy, I am not yet the retiring type.
Most of my ever-changing my schedule info. when i can get my elderly secretary (unfortunately myself) to type it up, is posted on my web page www.davidamram.com under Upcoming Events.
And my e-mail amramdavid@aol.com is always the best way to reach me as I carry my laptop with me everywhere, and Facebook, MySpace, etc., is hard to deal with and not always reliable!
You might find it fun to access an old performance of my 1971 Rondo a la Turca on the Internet for FREE!!!
The person who is conducting the Chicago Symphony and playing the middle eastern flute (who looks like my grandson) is actually a much younger looking me in 1977, recording for a PBS network TV show about my music. Pepper Adams and Jerry Dodgion are also playing.
In 1977, most of members of the Chicago Symphony who appear on the recording of this performance had never heard, much less ever played, very much music from the Middle East, and since I write everything out on paper accurately to indicate the way it should be played, that's what they were playing, and they actually began to sound like the Radio Beirut Orchestra, and suddenly as the piece went on, they started feeling something different than they had ever felt before, as they played.
It is really fun to watch their faces as they started getting ingo the old time magical groove that Middle eastern music creates and takes you into.
During the first few minutes of the piece, you can see the musicians all playing up a storm but looking as if they were thinking that I was an alien from another planet in outer space, and had brought some extra terrestrial music with me for them to play.
And then as the piece progresses, you can see, as well as hear, that by the end of the piece, the idiom of this music got them excited enough to be actually enjoying playing it!!
And playing it really well!
That's what music, like film, novels, poetry, painting, dance, language and good HOME COOKING does for all of us.
It takes you to that place from where it comes, and makes you feel that you now have a new home in a new part of the world.
I send cheers from that endless road and wish you joy and energy for all you do
David
I was just saying that you knocked this out of the park with TGJN. We have needed something like this for so long and I am telling my friends about this. I said that it is sort of like a myspace for jazz but it is actually so much more. This is real. The people here truly love jazz and we know people like that are not your average people.
I have felt for a long time that straight-ahead jazz has been slipping away from us. I have hope now that there will be a resurgence (or shall I say an insurgency:-) to bring this baby back full force!
You just knocked it out of the park. Thanks again.
xoxo,
Janie

A Tour Of America's Belgrades
The name Belgrade still rings for many with memories of the recent civil war in Yugoslavia. But now a Serbian film crew is touring some small towns in the U.S. that share the name — gathering material for a documentary. So far, they've been to Belgrade, Minn., and Belgrade, Mont. Host Melissa Block caught up with the team as they drove toward Belgrade, Neb. She talks to the film's director, Miodrag Kolaric.'Weird Al' Yankovic's Ode To The Trashmen
According to Yankovic, The Trashmen's legacy extends well beyond its status as the best surf band ever to come out of Minneapolis. With its 1964 hit "Surfin' Bird," the group distilled rock music to its essence.They Might Be Giants Sings About Science
In Here Comes Science, the band They Might Be Giants tackles the scientific process, plasma physics, the role of blood in the body and the importance of DNA, all in song. Band members John Linnell and John Flansburgh discuss the album and play some science tunes. Originally broadcast Sept. 25, 2009.BlakRoc: The Black Keys Do Hip-Hop
The Black Keys are known for their stripped-down, blues-inspired music. But in a new project called BlakRoc, they are breaking into the world of hip-hop and collaborating with rappers like RZA and Pharoahe Monch.Loudon Wainwright Looks 'High' For Inspiration
Loudon Wainwright's new double album, High Wide and Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project, is a tribute to the old-time country banjo player who died in 1931. The singer-songwriter explains the motivations behind the project — and why Poole was such an influential country pioneer.Cadenzas: Ladling The Gravy On Classical Music
Commentator Miles Hoffman talks turkey about the classical cadenza. Just as a flavorful gravy enhances any holiday turkey, cadenzas are tasty solos composers write to spice up their concertos.'40/40' Celebrates The Carpenters' 1969 Debut
Forty years after siblings Richard and Karen Carpenter signed with A&M Records, Richard Carpenter is releasing a 40th-anniversary compilation CD, Carpenters: 40/40. The two-disc set includes 40 tracks with hits including "Top of the World" and "We've Only Just Begun."Corb Lund: Boot-Kickin' Canadian Cowboy
Why Corb Lund's wry storytelling and driving tempos aren't better known outside of his native Canada is a mystery. His new album, Losin' Lately Gambler, could change all that, and bust some south-of-the-border stereotypes about Canadians in the process.Dvorak's Symphony For A 'New World'
The Bohemian composer claimed that "everyone who has a nose must smell America" in his Symphony No. 9. But rather than serve as a musical postcard from abroad, Dvorak's Symphony From the New World ultimately serves as more of a fond look back toward home.Tori Amos: From 'Sin' To Holiday Joy
For the first time in her career, Amos plans to release a collection of holiday standards. Following the release of Abnormally Attracted to Sin, released this past May, Amos makes a surprising shift to holiday gaiety on her 11th album, Midwinter Graces. Hear her perform a session from World Cafe.Rossini, Riley And Remixes: New Classical CDs
From sensuous-sounding Chopin to a radical remix of Terry Riley's IN C, NPR Music's Tom Huizenga and All Things Considered host Guy Raz spin a wide assortment of new classical CDs.Rakim: The MC Reveals His 'Seventh Seal'
The renowned rapper has finally issued his seventh album — his first in 10 years. Here, he reflects on the early breakthroughs that earned him his living-legend status, and talks about delivering a conscious message in his new work.Blues Man Joe Bonamassa, Real-Life Guitar Hero
Blues musician Joe Bonamassa started playing with B.B. King when he was 12. He's performed on stage with Eric Clapton and averages about 200 shows per year. His new DVD is called Joe Bonamassa, Live From the Royal Albert Hall. Host Scott Simon speaks with Bonamassa about living with the blues and how he got his nickname, "Smokin' Joe."A Magazine, Reborn: 'Vibe' Is Back In 2010
By Jess Gitner Past covers of Vibe. Chris Brown will be the cover boy for the relanuched Vibe's first issue. (courtesy of Vibe) Len Burnett helped launch Vibe, a hip-hop music magazine, back in 1993, and he's just launch...Imelda May: Madly In Love With Rockabilly
Irish singer Imelda May is a walking, talking, singing embodiment of the 1950s. She wears leopard-print sweaters, tight bad-girl jeans and her hair in a ponytail. Although May has won numerous awards in 2009, her music harkens back to a style that was popular in the '50s: rockabilly.© 2009 Created by THE GLOBAL JAZZ NETWORK on Ning. Create a Ning Network!
