From duo, trio and quintet to big band
I perform regularly: currently I play with my trio for repmusic at The Gonville Hotel, Cambridge. I have performed for many organisations in and around Cambridge, such as The National Trust, The Cambridge Jazz Festival, My little Festival, The Ivy Restaurant, Mills and Reeve events at The Botanic Gardens and at many private functions and music venues. I have played with many jazz musicians in different set ups, from big band to modern-jazz ensembles, and I have had the privilege to perform with saxophonist Alan Barnes and trombonist Dennis Rollins MBE.
Contact me if you are looking for jazz for any type of event.
The Cores Do Samba Collective
I am the band leader and pianist for Cores Do Samba, a popular and ever-growing band playing sold out shows and putting Brazilian music on the map in Cambridge!
We are comprised of a group of musicians who love to explore the popular music of Brazil, particularly the ‘MPB’ style. We have an international feel with members who are Italian, English and Brazilian, and we pride ourselves in having a truly authentic sound. Featuring in our set are arrangements by Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque, Tom Jobim, Baden Powell, Djavan, Joyce and many others. The music is rhythmic and uplifting, and we play in different set ups from a vocal trio to a seven-piece full band, making us suitable for many different types of events.
Appealing to all ages, we can provide performances offering a relaxed ambience through to an evening of full dancing and celebration. Check out our website for more information.
The Alley Cats
I am the band leader and musical arranger for The Alleycats, a seven-piece, modern-jazz-led group playing fun and fresh arrangements of tunes and songs from popular children's films, cartoons, Disney, and nursery rhymes. We appeal to both children and adults and can adapt the set to suit personal requirements.
Kenny/Lampronti Duo
As a duo, Giulio Lampronti and I enjoy exploring a vast range of repertoire, from jazz standards to our own arrangements of contemporary pop-rock music and MPB (Brazilian Pop Music), plus original compositions. Our music is rhythmic, with groove and a sense of fun and energy. We can be joined by other professional instrumentalists or vocalists.
