My name is Patrick Bianco. I was born in Zurich, Switzerland october 21rst 1977. I started playing the saxophone when I was twelve. I began with lessons in a music school which I learned first the classical approach..
When I was 15 years old I had the chance to play in a big band. I liked the blues very much. After a while I started slowly improvising on my horn. I was so fascinated when I heard Charlie Parker and Cannonball Adderley the first time. As a teenager I realized that those cats are my ideals and I started to learn the jazz language.
After my regular education I did an apprenticeship as an IT programmer. I was very happy with my job, but I still decided to study jazz at the "Hochschule der Künste" in Bern. I finished my study 2006. Since then I played as much as I could with bands, took some private lessons, joined international jazzworkshops and fortunately I won a few scholarships and awards.
I do play in several jazzbands and of course you can book me and my bands anytime.
My own bands are:
