Tino Aureli is a composer and Italian by origin. Although he has lived in England for the past 35 years, his music has retained a very strong Mediterranean feel for which he is very proud. His music experience spans a long time and he has been playing guitar for as long a time.Tino interest in Jazz begins in the club dives of Rome in the 60’s where straightahead jazz was the norm, he got acquainted with the Jazz of k. Burrell, Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, George Benson, Fausto Papetti, and Oscar Peterson and in the 70’s with the jazz of Miles Davies, J. Scofield,Sun Ra and Weather Report.On the back of these experiences Tino began writing is own music. His first solo recording project was born in 2000 with the production of his first album ‘They shoot notes don’t they!’ (Available trough iTunes, distributed by CD Baby USA)’and released in 2005. A second album ‘Acquarello’ (also available trough iTunes and distributed by CD Baby USA) was produced in 2005 and released in 2006, where the evolution in Tino’s music is very evident. A third album is now in production ’REBUS’ (to be released in 2007), and the evolution goes on.The blues tinged rifts of his guitar, demonstrates flair and a fluid inventiveness from beginning to end. In the composition, he takes away the players attitude, and writes music that has its own logic and reason for being.Tino music manages to combine immediacy with certain off the wall unpredictability. You think that you have herd guitar music like this before, and then the tracks dodge sharp right through an opening of chord progressions completely unexpected. Not so much complicated, just an unexpected choice of chord progressions. The clever arrangements tips, in his music, include tempo fluctuations, unusual chord progressions and a touch of unexpected transpositions.Tino's music has its roots in more then one period and it is difficult to pigeonhole, ' FREE JAZZ' is a good word for it.CDBABY LINK for TINO AURELI: Acquarello --
