A unique opportunity for lovers of music and the world of a unique instrument like the bass: on Friday 23 May at Gonzaga 7 (Via Gonzaga, 7 – 20123 Milan), at 7.00 pm there will be an unmissable meeting with Saturnino, thanks an event signed TrafficJam Session. Saturnino (Ascoli Piceno, 1969) is considered by the most accredited critics to be one of the best bass players on the international scene. A cult and popular author at the same time, Saturnino made his recording debut as a soloist in 1995 with “Testa di Basso”, an album which highlights an uncommon technical mastery, which can also count on a virtuosity that is never an end in itself, great compositional ability and eclecticism.

With Jovanotti he will record eight albums, including a double live album. His other CDs as a soloist are: “Zelig” (1996), the live “SaTOURnino” (1997), “Clima” (2000). A versatile instrumentalist capable of tackling any style, his albums strategically blend influences that derive from a culture marked by classical music studies (he began studying violin at the age of five) and by a passion for funky, jazz, rock and hip hop. His music is therefore prone to contamination, but which excludes any form of quotation. Saturnino thus makes his own a concept of musical nomadism in which the artist is allowed to move freely, without a passport, in the territories of music already explored in the past by others: he does not passively repeat and, always with creativity, knows how to obtain new ensembles capable of express new musical identities.
Significant in Saturnino’s musical and personal history is his meeting, in 1991, with Lorenzo Jovanotti. A strong synergy is established between the two which will lead to the creation of successful songs including “L’ombelico del mondo”, “Io No”, ” Penso Positivo” and “Salvami”. Furthermore, it is Saturnino’s bass that constitutes the powerful rhythmic basis of “Il mio nome è maipiù”, a song recorded by Pirò Pelù, Jovanotti and Ligabue in 1999 in support of Emergency and which, with over six hundred thousand copies sold, represents in Italy one of the most successful musical singles of the last decade.
