RAF FERRARI IS A JAZZ-ROCK PIANIST WHO "THINKS" LIKE A CLASSIC COMPOSER
His musical universe is lyrical and inspired, elegant and sophisticated, made of contrasts and dualisms through an original mix of melody, rhythm and improvisation.
With the release of the first album Pauper (2009) Raf Ferrari with his quartet performs in prestigious festivals and begins to collaborate with important name as Gabriele Mirabassi.
The albumVenere e Marte (2013) sees the direct participation of Mirabassi confirming his artistic partnership.
In January 2013, on the occasion of the second editionJAZZIT AWARDS the editors of the Italian magazine JAZZIT awarded Venere e Marte among the best records of the year.
The new album WAITING FOR EDO consolidates the collaboration with the producer Odd Gjelsnes and LOSEN RECORDS, and probably represents the most unexpected and special release for the important Norwegian label to date. Mentioned by Flavio Caprera in the Dictionary of Italian Jazz as one of the most original musicians on the Italian music scene, Raf Ferrari has brought his music to important European stages (SCOTLAND, ENGLAND, NORTHERN IRELAND, SPAIN, NORWAY, BELGIUM, SWEDEN, DENMARK, LUXEMBURG, GERMANY, SLOVENIA) collaborating with prominent names such as
Gabriele Mirabassi, Javier Jirotto, Rodolfo Maltese, Fabrizio Bosso, Jenny Bae.
