Mirko Guirenni – tenor saxophone
Tony Gould – piano

The Gianni Marinucci Sextet was created from a desire to explore original music written by members of the group within a deep listening environment. Bringing together a wonderful mix of younger and more established improvisers, this promises to be a night of exploration, interaction and musical conversation.

“The first time I heard Gianni Marinucci play, I knew we had a new gift from the jazz muse in our midst. He is tasteful, lyrical, honest and humble in his playing. It’s so nice to hear someone doing the real thing in spite of all the temptations to ‘hot dog’! I love his playing and his friendship!”
— Bobby Shew, jazz legend

“Marinucci is a highly gifted and marvelously restrained player possessing a luscious, seductive sound filled with both muscular strength and emotional fragility. His melodic and improvisational approach is economical, with a superb — and swinging, even at slower tempos — sense of note placement. This is a player whose horn indeed tells tales.”
— Nick Mondello, All About Jazz
