About Me |
|
| Born in Milan in 1957.
He starts playing the electric bass in 1973, and already in 1975 he goes on his first tour as a professional with the pop song writer Alberto Camerini from the Milan alternative music scene. In the same years, he begins studies and developes his passion for Jazz. He studies double-bass at the Conservatory G.Verdi in Milan, while performing in the famous Jazz Club “Capolinea” in neverending jam sessions with various bands. His career develops along two main lines: the great adaptability and high professional skills lead him to work with artists from the jazz scene such as G. Gaslini, F.Cerri, G.Basso, R. Sellani, E. Intra, F. D’Andrea, M. Rusca, T. Scott, P. Tomelleri, G. Cuppini, G. Trovesi, G. Coscia and many others, while also following many projects concerning pop music. In the ‘80s, he joins the Rhythmic Orchestra of RAI and plays both in recordings and concerts with a great number of artists: Ennio Morricone, Mia Martini, Enzo Jannacci, Fabio Concato, Antonella Ruggiero, Ornella Vanoni, ecc… In the first decade of the ‘90s he is among the members of the renewed Sanremo Festival Orchestra; in the same period he works with musicians such as T.Harrell, B. Mintzer, P. Woods, L. Konitz, K. Barron, C. Terry, T. Thielemans, B. Kessell, B. Watson, R. Cuber, B. Moover, R. Margitza, J. Owens, ecc... He takes part in concerts by Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Chico Buarque De Hollanda, Amii Stewart, Nick The Nightfly. The year 2000 is his turning point: from this moment onwards, Fioravanti devotes himself to Jazz, and starts working in recordings and concerts with Enrico Rava, Paolo Fresu, Franco Ambrosetti, Fabrizio Bosso, Flavio Boltro, Marco Tamburini, Marco and Paolo Brioschi, Roberto Rossi, Gabriele Mirabassi, Mauro Negri, Emanuele Cisi, Pietro Tonolo, Michael Rosen, Piero Odorici, Dado Moroni, Andrea Pozza, Ramberto Ciammarughi, Stefano Bollani, Riccardo Zegna, Antonio Faraò, Paolo Birro, Bebo Ferra, Alessio Menconi, Sandro Gibellini, Andrea Dulbecco and many others. He has carried on , and still does so, an intense teaching activity, at the CPM in Milan at first, and then with the Nuova Milano Musica, the Castellanza’s Civic School of Music, the ADAM of Milan and the CDPM of Bergamo. Now he's teaching electric and acoustic jazz bass in Conservatory of Como, Consevatory of Cuneo and Accademia del Suono in Milan. His precise sound and his great interpretational skills have made him, in time, a valid partner – both in seminars and performances – for drum-players such as Giampiero Prina, Stefano Bagnoli, Adam Nussbaum, Alvin Queen, Billy Cobham, Paul Wertico, Enzo Todesco, Danny Gottlieb, Roberto Gatto, Christian Meyer, Ellade Bandini, Massimo Manzi, Tullio De Piscopo, Alfredo Golino, Max Furian and many, many others… He relesead two cd for italian jazz label ABeat: "BILL EVANS PROJECT", about the music of the great pianist and composer, and "NOTE BASSE", in wich he plays his own music and composition by important bass players, as Haden, Swallow, Holland, Sting, McCartney, Bruce, ecc... myspaceeditor.it |
