Franco Piccinno Trio • Hidden Gem
Franco Piccinno (p) ; Gaetan Casteels (b) ; Umberto Odone (dr)
Italian pianist Franco Piccinno is one of those musicians you often discover in jazz clubs — the places where the music truly comes alive. Trained between Italy and several major European scenes, he has developed over the years a personal language rooted in tradition but always open to improvisation and collective interaction.
Very active internationally, he has collaborated with a wide range of musicians and led several projects where the dialogue between players remains central. His playing, fluid and highly responsive to the dynamics of the group, fits naturally into the great tradition of the piano trio, that ideal laboratory where ideas can emerge and evolve in real time.
Surrounded by trusted musical partners, Franco Piccinno offers a music built around standards revisited and original compositions, with improvisation at its core.
A true club jazz experience: direct, sincere, and always ready to take unexpected turns.
