My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/14/2007
Band Members: Armando's friends throughout the world!

Influences: Pat Metheny Group, Esbjorn Svensson Trio, Yellowjackets, Wayne Krantz... and too many others! The great Level 42 and the Man of The Bass, Mr.Mark King, captivated my musical ear just when I was just getting into music (and drumming) and had a major role in leading me to fusion and jazz - which I was taken to by passing through UZEB and then Stanley Clarke,who led me to Chick Corea: just in that period, he was coming up with the Elektric and Akoustic Bands, that revolutioned my approach to music and brought me to explore the incredible and immense world of jazz, in any direction. That's something I still do, the search will never end: it's incredibly rewarding when I get into some new "element" - it may be a record, a band, a new drum instrument or simply a song - that's the fuel that feeds my passion for music and makes it grow uncessantly. In drumming, the great Peter Erskine and the "old school" (Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, Will Kennedy, Man.. Katch.., etc.) - Jack DeJohnette is a genius of his own and cannot be related to any category, but he's one of my greatest influence too, mostly in jazz (along with the late Elvin Jones and Tony Williams). More recently, I've been totally blown away by the incredible swedish jazz current: I've discovered really wonderful musicians, such as the amazing pianist and composer Jacob Karlzon, the great drummer Peter Danemo and the beautiful and talented singer Viktoria Tolstoy.Don't forget to share your best...
