Bio
Singer, instrumentalist, but also journalist, television and radio personality, GeG? Telesforo represents a professional figure of a thousand facets.
The fundamental common denominator of his multiple activities is music, that is "Good Music", to which he devotes all his creative energy.
GeGŽ's artistic endeavors started when his incredible vocal talent was discovered by Renzo Arbore.
Over the years he has developed his own personal style of "scat", renewing a particular form of vocal improvisation, almost forgotten abroad and which never existed in Italy.
GeG? put together the best musicians of the Italian jazz scene.
His unforgettable concerts in the mid 80's presented a renewal of old jazz standards, using breathtaking arrangements and moving harmonies.
Later, he began to establish himself abroad performing with such ÒJazz MastersÓ as Jon Hendricks, Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry, DeeDee Bridgewater and many others.
In the United States, thanks to his association with Ben Sidran, pianist, singer, writer and producer, Telesforo has found a second home, where he has recorded in important studios and has collaborated with the most recognized international musicians for GoJazz Records.
His undisputed talent has been exported around the world, as far as Japan where he has had an incredible success playing his part with The Go Jazz All Stars.
For sometime Telesforo has focused his musical evolution on aggressive funk style, in which jazz elements and improvisations come together to form a rigorous and unmistakable rhythm dominated by groove. He founded Groove Master Edition with his manager-friend Roberto Ramberti.
Now, accompanying Telesforo is a band of extraordinary musicians, all togheter in the GROOVINATORS project.
