Attilio Sepe is regarded internationally as an emerging talent on the alto
saxophone for his unique sound and his personal approach to composition.
Attilio
started his studies with Raffaele Minale and Giulio Martino at the age
of seven. Later he continued his studies in classical music at the
“Conservatorio Statale di Musica D. Cimarosa” and his studies in jazz
music with Antonio Solimene and Maurizio Giammarco. Then he moved to
Siena, where he studied for five years, graduating two times in Jazz
Saxophone at Siena Jazz University. He studied with great musicians like
Giovanni Falzone, Alfonso Santimone, Ettore Fioravanti, Roberto
Spadoni, Ralph Alessi, Dan Kinzelman, Ziv Ravirz, Jim Black and Ben Van
Gelder.
During his studies at Siena Jazz he worked
with Silvia Bolognesi, playing in her quartet, “Silvia Bolognesi Young
Shouts” and formed the “Parking Attendants”, a collective of Italian
musicians based in Tuscany.
In 2021 Attilio won the award “Premio Giovani Visionari 2021” granted by the “Federazione Nazionale Jazz Italiano”.
“Héritage
Normand” is his last release, recorded with the great Italian
saxophonist Maurizio Giammarco, that is coming out during the end of
2023.
About Attilio Sepe Quartet
The
band was built during Attilio Sepe's stay in Belgium, where the Italian
pianist Marco Marcelletti, the Belgian double bassist Emanuel Van
Mieghem and the Portuguese drummer Diogo Alexandre live. This cultural
variety translates into a band with multiple sonic and expressive
possibilities, capable of taking multiple directions and improvisational
risks. The repertoire is varied as well, including both pieces from
composers like Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea and original compositions from
its own members. The band has already performed on various stages in
Belgium and in Italy, also in collaboration with the italian legend of
tenor saxophone, Maurizio Giammarco.
The event will start at 5:00pm at L'Archiduc, Rue Antoine Dansaert 6, 1000 Brusselles, Belgium
