About the artist
Mario Rusca Trio
It's not often that a jazz trio can simultaneously transport you to a dimly lit, smoke-filled speakeasy from the 1920s and make you want to bust a move on the dance floor, but that's exactly what the Mario Rusca Trio achieves with their infectious blend of swing, bebop, and Latin rhythms. Led by the enigmatic Mario Rusca on piano, this Italian-born prodigy is a virtuoso in every sense of the word. His fingers dance across the keys with a precision and flair that would make even the most seasoned pianist green with envy. But it's not just his technical prowess that sets him apart - it's his ability to inject every note with raw emotion and unbridled passion that truly sets him apart. Backing him up are the talented Luca Rossi on bass and Alberto Conte on drums, who bring a tightness and chemistry to the trio that is simply unparalleled. Rossi's melodic bass lines provide the perfect foundation for Rusca's intricate piano solos, while Conte's dynamic drumming keeps the whole ensemble ticking along like a well-oiled machine. Together, the Mario Rusca Trio creates a sound that is at once nostalgic and fresh, paying homage to the jazz greats of yesteryear while pushing the genre forward into exciting new territory. Whether you're a die-hard jazz aficionado or a casual listener looking for something to spice up your playlist, the Mario Rusca Trio is sure to leave you tapping your toes and craving more.
