"emotion pours from his horn like hot poetry over perfumed stationary" Cadence Magazine ____________________________________________________________ ______________ Nick Gianni is a Baritone Saxophonist/Multi-instrumentalist raised in New York on a steady diet of Music. His Grandfather played Tenor Sax with local big bands and made sure Nick had learned the basics of Piano, Violin, and Saxophone at an early age before moving to Guitar and Bass as a teenager. Nick began performing in public at the age of 16 and eventually caught the ear of European Radio and Film star Ursula, whom he left school to go on tour with. While playing with Ursula Nick developed into a consummate bass player. Nick began playing upright bass and immersed himself in the downtown free jazz scene of the late 1980’s. After backing up numerous saxophone greats Nick grew tired of the supporting role of Bass and started developing his own sound as a Tenor Saxophonist following in his Grandathers footsteps. Throughout his career Nick has had the distinction of recording and performing with great musicians Dr John, Marshall Allen, Luther Thomas, Kenny Wollesen, Daniel Carter and Hugh McCracken and Brazilian Girls.
